★ 改變一整個世代觀看方式的藝術經典★ BBC同名節目改編，跨越影像與文字的思想之作★ 一句話顛覆藝術理解：「觀看，先於語言」在我們還不會說話之前，就已經開始「看」。但你是否曾想過，我們看到的，真的只是眼前的事物嗎？《觀看的方式》從最日常的視覺經驗出發，帶領讀者重新思考：我們如何看畫、看影像、看世界。約翰．伯格以敏銳而直白的語言，拆解藝術長久以來被包裝的權威與距離，揭示觀看其實深受文化、權力與歷史影響。當我們看一幅畫時，同時也在看見自己的位置與價值。本書發想自BBC經典節目，出版後迅速成為影響深遠的思想之作，不只改變藝術理解方式，更重新定義「觀看」本身。這不只是一本藝術書，而是一場關於視覺、權力與意識的革命。Based on the BBC television series, John Berger's Ways of Seeing is a unique look at the way we view art, published as part of the Penguin on Design series in Penguin Modern Classics. 'Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak.''But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words.It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.' John Berger's Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language. First published in 19

This enthralling tale of a “material girl” in 1930s Berlin is the masterpiece of a literary icon, rediscovered and restored to the same heights as such luminaries as Isherwood and Brecht.In 1931 a young woman writer living in Germany penned her answer to Anita Loos’sGentlemen Prefer Blondesand the era of cinematic glamour:The Artificial Silk Girl. Though a Nazi censorship board banned Irmgard Keun’s work in 1933 and destroyed all existing copies, the novel survived, as fresh and relevant today as the day it was written.The Artificial Silk Girlis the story of Doris, beautiful and striving, who vows to write down all that happens to her as the star of her own life story. But instead of scripting what she hopes will be a quick rise to fame and fortune as either an actress or the mistress/wife of a wealthy man, she describes a slow descent into near prostitution and homelessness. Prewar Berlin is not the dazzling and exciting city of promise it seems; Doris unwittingly reveals a bleak, sea
