In this collection of essays, writer, critic, poet, and artist John Berger (1926-2017) discusses the horrors of modern wars, terrorism, and the nature of all-consuming despair. In the pages of the book, he shows us the lives of people for whom this feeling has become a faithful companion - the poor and refugees from Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq, Syria - and offers to share their mourning for the freedom taken away by force. Drawing on the subjects of Paolo Pasolini's films, the works of Francis Bacon, the photographs of Ahlam Shibli and Yitka Hanzlova, and recalling Susan Sontag's Looking at Other People's Suffering, Burger analyzes how art as a tool of resistance to repressive policies can help triumph over pain, fear, and hatred.
