Résumé:
The images appearing in "Northern silence" were taken over a period of 25 years, from the mid-1980s to 2012, at the far northern tip of Norway, where photographer Cato Lein grew up, in Finnmark. The mood is dull, with a blackness that reminds one of the sharp contrasts belonging to social documentary, rather than classic landscape photography. Over the last 50 years, the appearance of the Varanger Peninsula has changed dramatically. It has become warmer and the tundra is on the verge of disappearing. Moss grows on the bare granite mountains of the past, and Arctic birches are being replaced by southern varieties.

Résumé:
French photographer Jérémie Souteyrat presents some of the best private houses in his adopted city of Tokyo.

Résumé:
In this poignant and acclaimed novel about the beauty of lost things, the protagonist traces the lives of four elderly German/Jewish exiles. The Emigrants is composed of four long narratives which at first appear to be the straightforward accounts of the lives of several Jewish exiles in England, Austria, and America. The narrator literally follows their footsteps, studding each story with photographs and creating the impression that the reader is poring over a family album. But gradually, Sebald's prose, which combines documentary description with almost hallucinatory fiction, exerts a new magic, and the four stories merge into one. Illustrated throughout with enigmatic photographs.

Résumé:
Milan Sklenar Photographs brings together for the first time over 100 photographs by this Czech-American artist, whose work was previously unpublished and virtually unknown. Drawing on the social documentary currents of photography in the mid-20th century, Sklenar's work transcends the fascination with the "decisive moment" which figures so prominently in the work of his contemporaries. Here, we discover the work of an artist whose unique talent resides in his ability to connect the purely momentary to the broader continuum of shared experience. This book also includes a biographical introduction by the New York writer Rosemary Mahoney and an insightful essay by the young English critic Chris Morgan.
