What happens when an art critic loses some of his sight to cataracts? What wonders are glimpsed once vision is restored? In this impressionistic essay written in the spirit of Montaigne, John Berger, whose treatises on seeing have shaped cultural and media studies for four decades, records the effects of cataract removal operations on each of his eyes. With words by John Berger and beautiful illustrations by Turkish artist Selçuk Demirel that complement the text, Cataract is a collaborative collectors’ piece that is perfect for every reader’s bedside table.

A pictorial essay by the great art critic, novelist and long-time smoker, John Berger, and Turkish writer and illustrator Selçuk Demirel."Once upon a time, men, women and (secretly) children smoked."This charming illustrated work reflects on the cultural implications of smoking, and suggests, through a series of brilliantly inventive illustrations, that society's attitude to smoke is both paradoxical and intolerant. It portrays a world in which smokers, banished from public places, must encounter one another as outlaws. Meanwhile, car exhausts and factory chimneys continue to pollute the atmosphere. Smoke is a beautifully illustrated prose poem that lingers in the mind."A cigarette is a breathing space. It makes a parenthesis. The time of a cigarette is a parenthesis, and if it is shared you are both in that parenthesis. It's like a proscenium arch for a dialogue." - John Berger (in interview)

"John Berger y Selçuk Demirel empezaron a pensar y a trabajar en este libro en 2016.En él tratan una cuestión crucial para ambos: el tiempo.El tiempo como concepto filosófico que cambia según los momentos históricos y políticos del pensamiento; el tiempo de la memoria y del duelo; el tiempo del amor y de la esperanza; el tiempo del cuerpo biológico, prisionero de sus ritmos implacables, y aquel, eterno, de la conciencia; el tiempo de la resistencia y de la revuelta, del proyecto y de la visión; el tiempo de la naturaleza, entre la duración efímera de la mariposa y el tiempo rocoso y, sin embargo, morrénico, de las montañas y de los glaciares; el tiempo despiadado e indiferente del capital, que condena a la obsolescencia todo lo que encuentra a su paso; el tiempo de los sueños y de la invención, de la escritura y del dibujo". [De la presentación de Maria Nadotti]

La palabra de origen griego ''catarata'' posee el doble significado de cascada y verja levadiza, una obstrucción que desciende desde lo alto e impide el paso.Este libro recoge notas y reflexiones de uno de los críticos de arte contemporáneos de mayor ingenio, John Berger, tras haber sido operado de cataratas en los dos ojos. Gran experto en el análisis de los "modos de ver", Berger relata en este maravilloso texto el redescubrimiento de la vista en carne propia.

Nominee for the 2012 Silver Birch Express Award in the Ontario Library Association's Forest of Reading Program.Jeremiah Birnbaum is stinking rich. He lives in a house with nine bathrooms, a games room, an exercise room, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a movie theater, a bowling alley and a tennis court. His parents, a former hotdog vendor and window cleaner who made it big in dental floss, make sure Jeremiah goes to the very best private school, and that he takes lessons in all the things he will need to know how to do as an accomplished and impressive young man: etiquette lessons, ballroom dancing, watercolor painting. And, of course, classical piano.Jeremiah complies, because he wants to please his parents. But one day, by chance, he hears the captivating strains of a different kind of music -- the strums, plucks and rhythms of a banjo. It is music that stirs something in Jeremiah's dutiful little soul, and he is suddenly obsessed. And when his parents forbid him to play one, he decides to learn anyway -- even if he has to make the instrument himself.
