First published forty years ago and since become an essential classic for knowing the "art without art" of the greatest photographer of the twentieth century, the book returns with the 150 images he himself selected, the introduction by Yves Bonnefoy and an exclusive interview Ferdinando Scianna conducted with him in 1998, which lets us know even better the complex and fascinating personality of his friend and colleague. With his discreet, handy Leica, "the eye of the century" walked the streets and paths of the whole world to stop reality and at the same time understand its development, documenting and transfiguring our time, above all the twentieth century, in images that are dazzling and precise, intense and unique.
