   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) devenish | Jun 17, 2012 |  Behalve dat Bruce Chatwin een veel reizende schrijver was maakte hij op zijn tochten ook de nodige foto's. Twee vrienden van hem, David King en Francis Wyndham vonden dat de kwaliteit van zijn foto's zo goed was dat ze een boek verdienden. Het resultaat is een mooi fotoboek waarin iedere foto van Chatwin op zijn minst een volle pagina krijgt. De tussengevoegde stukken tekst hebben betrekking op een 3-tal van zijn reizen en zijn minder interessant. Toch zou dit fotoboek niet zijn uitgegeven als Chatwin fotograaf in plaats van schrijver was geweest.

The pictures, many in colour, are surprisingly good - simple, direct and graphically striking - and together with the extracts from his travel notebooks, provide, in the words of Francis Wyndham, the book's editor, 'a luminous glimpse of how he saw the world'. Tempting though it is to see this latest Chatwin discovery as yet another media hype (are these really any better than the average holiday snap?), Chatwin had, in fact, acquired a reputation for his 'infallible eye' whilst working as Head of Antiquities and then Impressionist Paintings at Sotheby's in the 1960s.
Throughout his travels Chatwin took thousands of photographs and completed a number of notebooks, the springboard and inspiration for his books. In words and pictures unexplored places and people are brought alive. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
