The Falling Kingdom takes us to a country in many transformations. The unstable political situation in Nepal has had a major impact on the infrastructure of its society. This book portrays the great diversity between rich and poor, victim and perpetrator. But most of all, it reveals an old country on the doorstep for rapid transformation. The unsentimental photographs made by Olof Jarlbro shows us a Kingdom on its last breath.
