Synopsis

This collection of critical essays is divided into three parts: first, the way we look at animals is used as the starting point, and the long and distant relationship between humans and animals is traced, which is permanently lost in contemporary capitalist society; then it is a reflection on the function of photography, in harmony with Susan Sontag; finally, it focuses on art, talking about painting and sculpture, and walking leisurely in society. All levels of psychology and art bear the legacy of Walter Benjamin.

Reader comments

This book is very interesting! John Berger's discussion of animals, photography and art is very profound, allowing me to see details that I usually overlook. His words are concise and powerful, as friendly as chatting with friends. I particularly enjoyed his analysis of art, it was very enlightening. I feel that the author is a very thoughtful person. I recommend you to read this book!
