Lavender
The text by Christiane Meunier, a professional in the field of fragrances, recounts the history of lavender. Readers learn that it has grown naturally in Provence since ancient times, when it was widely used to perfume bathwater. In the Middle Ages it was used medicinally and as a scent, and by 1900 farmers in the South of France had begun to grow lavender commercially. Today, as Silvester's photographs demonstrate, lavender appears as an integral part of the landscape of Provence, an essential element of its character and beauty.
Cats in the Sun
Part photography, part armchair travel, and 100 percent feline worship, "Cats in the Sun" transports readers to the Greek islands, where cats rule the cobbled streets and rooftops and are as much a part of the landscape as the whitewashed buildings and azure sea.
A Window on Africa
A companion to Hans Silvester's Natural Fashion: a unique portrait of everyday life in a village in the Omo Valley. “My little red window has become almost a mirror image of the startling changes taking place today in Africa, where so many conflicts have arisen from the coming together of different peoples, creating a chaotic jumble of humanity that obliges vastly different cultures and languages to bond together to form some kind of community. My window has captured a moment in time, nothing more, nothing less, and in its endless stream of faces we can see the diversity of humankind, its customs and its religions, in a place that the old world now has to share with the new, with strangers...
Dogs in the Sun
In the newest book from acclaimed Cats in the Sun photographer Hans Silvester, the dogs of the Greek islands get their moment in the sun. Frolicking in the town square, romping on the beaches, and prowling hillsides, alleys, and rooftops in Search of adventure, these ragtag Vagabonds clearly make the most of their magnificent island home in the Mediterranean. An unusual portrait of dogs enjoying their freedom in one of the most enticing settings imaginable, Dogs in the Sun offers dog lovers a spectacular look at mutts in paradise. Along the way it also offers a breathtaking view of marvelous Greece and its unforgettable landscape, towns, and vistas.
Dogs of the Greek Islands
This is a collection of photographs of dogs of the Greek islands. All shapes and sizes, they bound along jetties, gambol on sandy beaches and play with - or more often chase - Hans Silvester's previous muses, cats.

Natural Fashion
The scene of tribal conflicts and guerrilla incursions, Ethiopia’s Omo Valley is also home to fascinating rites and traditions that have survived for thousands of years. The nomadic people who inhabit the valley share a gift for body painting and elaborate adornments borrowed from nature, and Hans Silvester has captured the results in a series of photographs made over the course of numerous trips.
Into the Wind
For thousands of years, kites have allowed human beings to possess the sky. Unable to fly but haunted by the dreams of Icarus, people throughout the world have used their imagination to design these fragile but brilliant objects. Whether they resemble fish, dragons, birds, mythical animals or just bits of colored paper, kites have given wings to the people that hold their strings, giving them a sensation of freedom. Over the course of his many trips, Hans Silvester photographed the flight of these great imaginary birds. From China to Bolivia, Italy to Sri Lanka, each of his images catches the beauty and grace of these objects, which belong to the world of children and adults alike.
