The Appearance of las Things: Essays and Selected Articles

This volume is one of John Berger's celebrated m books, the anthology of some of his articles and essays m incisive and brilliant written throughout the cada of 1960. From the lives of artists such as Camille Corot or Fernand Léger, through portraits of figures such as Le Corbusier, Walter Benjamin, Jack Yeats or CHE Guevara, to reflections on the Czechoslovak revolution of 1969, these pages address disparate themes under a coherent humanist and Marxist gaze that avoids fragmentary analysis in favor of a synthesis of human experience and nature. The appearance of things highlights the coherence that Berger has always shown in his construction of the idea of freedom and his intransigent attitude towards inequalities. 240 p.: b/w, 21x15 cm., paperback
