A new edition to celebrate John Berger’s centenary, selected and introduced by Teju Cole.

Polemical, reflective, radically original, Berger's wide-ranging essays emphasise the continuities that underpinned more than 40 years of tireless intellectual inquiry and political engagement.

To mark Berger's centenary, the essayist, novelist and art historian Teju Cole has selected a personal and wide-ranging selection of Berger's work, spanning non-fiction, fiction and prose poetry. This is a meeting of minds and a perfect introduction to Berger's luminous, wise and radical writing.
