Preisen will ich die großen Männer
Ein kolossaler Klassiker der amerikanischen Literatur: politisches Dokument und poetischer Traktat, das künstlerische Zeugnis einer Epoche.Im Sommer 1936 waren der 27jährige Dichterjournalist James Agee und der Fotograf Walker Evans in den amerikanischen Süden gereist - nach Oklahoma und nach Alabama - , um die Baumwoll-Pachtwirtschaft zu dokumentieren: aus dem Reportageauftrag einer Zeitschrift entstand ein erst 1941 veröffentlichtes Werk, das von der New York Library zu den einflussreichsten Buchdokumenten des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts gezählt wird.Mehrere Wochen lebten James Agee und Walker Evans mit drei ausgewählten weißen Pächterfamilien zusammen und teilten deren erbarmungslos elendigen Alltag und eine kaum vorstellbare Armut, die Bedrohung durch Hunger und Vertreibung. Die schockierende Konfrontation mit diesen Lebensverhältnissen löste auch die Einsicht in die Unmöglichkeit einer herkömmlichen Berichterstattung aus.Buchgestalter: Jürgen Meyer
