Why Look at Animals?
Why Look at Animals? | John Berger
2 posts | 1 read
John Berger broke new ground with his penetrating writings on life, art and how we see the world around us. Here he explores how the ancient relationship between man and nature has been broken in the modern consumer age, with the animals that used to be at the centre of our existence now marginalized and reduced to spectacle. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

John Berger died this January, and I was greatly saddened by the loss. His writing is wonderful and so was the TV he did for the BBC. This volume contains a chapter from About Looking. A really interesting chapter. I think the cover art done for this is fantastic, like most of the other books in the Great Ideas series.

Daisydo I can't wait to hear what you think of a monster calls. The girls in my book club love that book. I don't know why I'm scared to give it a try. 8y
