Selected essays and articles: The look of things; (Pelican books)
Description:
This anthology of some of John Berger’s most incisive and brilliant essays and articles, written throughout the 1960s, is one of his most celebrated books. The pieces span from the life of artists like Camille Corot and Fernand Léger; character sketches of the likes of Le Corbusier, Walter Benjamin, Jack Yeats, and Che Guevara; and reflections about the Czechoslovakian Revolution of 1969; but they are unified by a coherently Marxist-humanist perspective that refuses fragmentary analysis in favor of a synthesis of human nature and the human experience. Este volumen es uno de los libros más celebrados de John Berger, la antología de algunos de sus artículos y ensayos más incisivos y brillantes escritos a lo largo de la década de 1960. Desde la vida de artistas como Camille Corot o Fernand Léger, pasando por retratos de personajes como Le Corbusier, Walter Benjamin, Jack Yeats o Che Guevara, hasta reflexiones en torno a la revolución checoslovaca de 1969, estas páginas abordan temas dispares bajo una mirada coherente, humanista y marxista que rehúye el análisis fragmentario a favor de una síntesis de la experiencia y la naturaleza humanas. La apariencia de las cosas pone de manifiesto la coherencia que Berger siempre ha mostrado en su construcción de la idea de libertad y su actitud intransigente ante las desigualdades.
