On Reading

This classicâ€•both playful and poeticâ€•is reissued with striking new duotone reproductions.
AndrÃ© KertÃ©sz (1894-1985) was one of the most inventive, influential, and prolific photographers in the medium's history. This small volume, first published in 1971, became one of his signature works. Taken between 1920 and 1970, these photographs capture people reading in many parts of the world. Readers in every conceivable placeâ€•on rooftops, in public parks, on crowded streets, waiting in the wings of the school playâ€•are caught in a deeply personal, yet universal, moment. KertÃ©sz's images celebrate the absorptive power and pleasure of this solitary activity and speak to readers everywhere. Fans of photography and literature alike will welcome this reissue of this classic work that has long been out of print. 68 duotone photographs
