    About Looking

    The centenary edition, with a newly commissioned introduction by Berger's biographer, Tom Overton. 'Instant readability . . . [Berger] makes one see [paintings] as statements or questions in a living language.' New Statesman'One of the most influential intellectuals of our time' Observer 'Berger is a writer one demands to know more about . . . an intriguing and powerful mind and talent' New York Times As a novelist, essayist, and cultural historian, John Berger is a writer of dazzling eloquence and arresting insight whose work amounts to a subtle, powerful critique of the canons of our civilization. In About Looking he explores our role as observers to reveal new layers of meaning in what we see. How do the animals we look at in zoos remind us of a relationship between man and beast all but lost in the twentieth century? What is it about looking at war photographs that doubles their already potent violence? How do the nudes of Rodin betray the threats to his authority and potency posed by clay and flesh? And how does solitude inform the art of Giacometti? In asking these and other questions, Berger alters the vision of anyone who reads his work.

  7. Keeping a Rendezvous
    1. John , Berger

    Keeping a Rendezvous

    To look at a painting is more than just staring at art. It is an encounter, a rendezvous, with a whole world. When he stands before Giorgione's La Tempesta, John Berger sees not only paint but our notion of time, sweeping us away from a lost Eden. In this joyful, thrilling collection of encounters with images, animals and people, Berger seeks to see beyond representations into the deeper flows of things. From Jackson Pollock, to J M W Turner, the wonders of Paris or even our encounters with apes, Berger’s courageous and uncompromising exploration of the world is brought to bear.

    Un uomo fortunato. Storia di un medico di campagna

    "Un uomo fortunato" è una riflessione in parole e immagini sui rapporti tra l'individuo e la comunità che lo circonda. È un ritratto, allo stesso tempo poetico e sociologico, della dimensione più umana del lavoro del medico e di cosa significhi appartenere a una collettività e mettersi al suo servizio. Nel 1966 John Berger e il fotografo Jean Mohr seguono per tre mesi l'attività del medico di campagna John Sassall, documentandone la vita, le abitudini e gli incontri. Sassall vive nella foresta di Dean, in Inghilterra, tra i suoi pazienti, e ogni giorno si muove all'interno del territorio rurale per curare i malati, gli anziani e le persone sole. Ciò che affascina Berger e Mohr è che Sassall non si limita a prescrivere medicine, ma per la gente del luogo è anche un confidente, un depositario di ricordi. È preciso, attento e premuroso. Prima di fare un'iniezione pronuncia frasi rassicuranti. In inverno, quindici minuti prima di visitare un paziente, accende la termocoperta così da non fargli sentire freddo. È presente a tutte le nascite e a tutte le morti. In ogni situazione riconosce l'istante in cui può fare la differenza, ma conosce anche i propri limiti, come persona e come medico. Arricchita da una prefazione di Vittorio Lingiardi e da una introduzione di Iona Heath, quest'opera, finora inedita in Italia, ci rivela con grande delicatezza come ogni territorio, se guardato o osservato a distanza, sia ingannevole. Esso è infatti, innanzitutto, la rete disegnata dai gesti e dai pensieri dei suoi abitanti, dalle loro lotte, conquiste e sventure.
