A new compelling title plunges us into the life of some of history's best writers. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, sometimes smiling or bored, we will be able to see and enjoy great and unpublished portraits! Writers and photographers: unique and unrepeatable encounters that reveal how a shot is sometimes able to penetrate the soul of a writer and unveil the secrets of his works. The shots collected in this volume are the valuable link between the largest and the most famous international photographers and writers. Ernest Hemingway portrayed by Robert Capa, Jean Cocteau by Herbert List, Truman Capote by Richard Avedon, Julio Cortazar by René Burri, Ken Follet by Peter Marlow, Paul Auster by Bruce Davidson and much much more.
The book reveals a thorough anthology of 20th Century literature: each photograph is accompanied by a descriptive text of the writer's work.
