Böcker av Roger Grenier

Invites us to explore the domain of literature, its sweeping vistas and hidden recesses alike.

Most attempts to generalize about photography as a medium run up against our experience of the photographs themselves. In this book that is equal parts memoir and intellectual and cultural history, the author contemplates the ways that photography can change the course of a life, reflecting on the history of photography and its practitioners.

From Ulysses' Argo to Freud's Lun, these stories explore the mysterious and often intense relationship between human beings and dogs. Illustrating a broad knowledge of literary dog lovers, and elaborating on their insights, Grenier's volume abounds with humour and history.

Brassai's most famous portraits and cityscapes, collected in this reissued book in the acclaimed Photofiles series, form a unique vision of life in pre- and post-war Europe.
