Selected and introduced by Teju Cole, the essential collection by one of the world’s greatest writers and thinkers.

A new edition to celebrate John Berger’s centenary, selected and introduced by Teju Cole.

Polemical, reflective, radically original, Berger's wide-ranging essays emphasise the continuities that underpinned more than 40 years of tireless intellectual inquiry and political engagement.

To mark Berger's centenary, the essayist, novelist and art historian Teju Cole has selected a personal and wide-ranging selection of Berger's work, spanning non-fiction, fiction and prose poetry. This is a meeting of minds and a perfect introduction to Berger's luminous, wise and radical writing.

"Berger's clarity, passion and independence put him closer to the heart of things than many a more famous name." - Mail on Sunday

"Poetic, philosophical and profound . . . One of our best living British writers." - Scotland on Sunday
