Le livre anglais du mois : On Reading

Steve McCurry, 3 octobre 2016
PHAIDON

Un éloge de cet acte indémodable qu'est la lecture – vu à travers l'objectif de l'un des photographes les plus adulés du monde. Au cours des 40 dernières années, Steve McCurry a accumulé une collection de clichés montrant des gens absorbés dans le texte imprimé.

“Readers are seldom lonely or bored, because reading is a refuge and an enlightment”, écrit Paul Theroux dans l’avant-propos du nouveau livre paru chez Pahidon Book : Steve McCurry: On Reading. “This wisdom is sometimes visible. It seems to me that there is always something luminous in the face of a person in the act of reading.”
