Once in Europa

by John Berger and Patricia Macdonald

Once in Europa Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Berger's modern classic updated with glorious photos.

John Berger has spent a lifetime experimenting with new ways of storytelling, often using both words and images as in books such as Another Way of Telling and A Fortunate Man, where he worked with photographer Jean Mohr, and in his world-renowned Ways of Seeing. Now, together with artist-photographer Patricia MacDonald, the beautiful love story found in his earlier collection, Once in Europa, is retold, in an emotionally and visually stunning combination. Macdonald's powerful images, made from the air and close to the ground, and containing many layers of meaning, create a landscape and a weather for this contemporary classic.

About the Author

John Berger was born in London and now lives in a small village in the French Alps. Most recently he has written the novels To the Wedding and King.

Patricia Macdonald studied at Edinburgh University, receiving her doctorate in 1973. She is well known for her innovative, award-winning aerial images. Her previous publications include Shadow of Heaven, Order & Chaos, and Views of Gala.
