{"product_id":"elisabeth-tonnard-in-this-dark-wood","title":"Elisabeth Tonnard: In This Dark Wood","description":"Elisabeth Tonnard’s In This Dark Wood is a study of urban alienation in America. In a haunting, modern-gothic style, it pairs images of people walking alone in nighttime city streets with 90 different English translations, collected by Tonnard, of the famous first lines of Dante’s Inferno: “Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita \/ mi ritrovai per una selva oscura \/ ché la diritta via era smarrita.” (“In the middle of the journey of our life \/ I found myself in a dark wood \/ for the straight way was lost”). The images were selected from the Joseph Selle collection at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, which contains over a million negatives from a company of street photographers who worked in San Francisco from the 1940s to the 70s. This edition is a reprint of a work originally self-published in 2008.","brand":"J \u0026 L Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226618024280,"sku":"9780989531108","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780989531108.jpg?v=1759257024","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/elisabeth-tonnard-in-this-dark-wood","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
