Description

The centenary edition, with a newly commissioned introduction by Anne Michaels.

‘A triumph . . . Sad, reflective and peppered with unforgettable images' Guardian

No one appreciates the detail of being alive more than the dead. In Lisbon, a man encounters his mother sitting on a park bench who laughs with the impudence of a schoolgirl. She has been dead for fifteen years. In Krakow market he recognises Ken, his passeur, the most important person in his life between the ages of eleven and seventeen. They last met when Ken was sixty-five - forty years ago.

The number of lives that enter any one life is incalculable. In this nomadic and playful book which travels through fictions across Europe, seemingly disparate stories reveal themselves to be linked, mislaid objects find their place and sensual memories penetrate the present.
About John Berger
John Berger was born in London in 1926. His many books, innovative inform and far-reaching in their historical and political insight, include the Booker Prize-winning novel G, To the Wedding and Here is Where We Meet. Amongst his outstanding studies of art and photography are Another Way of Telling, The Success and Failure of Picasso and the internationally acclaimed Ways of Seeing. His fragmentary prose poem And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos (1984) was translated into nine languages. Towards the end of his life he lived and worked in a small village in the French Alps, the setting for his trilogy Into Their Labours (Pig Earth, Once in Europa and Lilac and Flag). He died in France in 2017.
