Description
In this book Susan Sontag examines a wide range of problems, both aesthetic and moral, raised by the presence and authority of the photographed image in the lives of everyone today. All societies we call "modern" have to be understood in terms of interchanges between reality and the image, and the most successful and influential systems of images in all history are those provided by the camera. Includes six essays first published in different forms in The New York Review of Books.
