"John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at things till we see what we thought wasn't there. But above all he teaches us how to love in the face of adversity. He is a master." --Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things "One of the most influential intellectuals of our time." -- Observer "Berger's is a humane and uniquely confiding voice." --Teju Cole "I admire and love John Berger's books . Not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience. He is a wonderful artist and thinker.

" --Susan Sontag "Berger is a writer one demands to know more about . an intriguing and powerful mind and talent." -- New York Times "Powerful polemicist and precise poet." -- Times "Berger is never less than eloquent. a heartfelt advocate of those without hope." -- Metro "Any book by John Berger is an event . admirers will recognise the characteristic blend of sympathy and lucidity, directness of address, human warmth, and cosmopolitan example." -- Times Literary Supplement.
