<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In his first collection of stories in a decade, Booker Prize-winning author John Berger assembles 29 vividly rendered moments that together make up a frieze of human history at the end of the millennium. Berger's PHOTOCOPIES teaches us about lies and charity, dignity and courage--the things that will keep us human even when our present world crumbles into dust.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Booker Prize-winning author John Berger presents a collection of moments, each supremely vivid, that together make up a frieze of human history at the end of the millennium as well as a subtle and affecting self-portrait of their author. Using careful, intensely visual prose snapping frozen vignettes of life, these twenty-nine photocopies teach us about lying and self-invention, dignity and tenderness, charity and courage. Overflowing with the sights, sounds, and smells of life, <b>Photocopies</b> is a masterpiece from one of the most important chroniclers of our time.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Berger was born in London in 1926.
