About This Item
U.S.: Delacorte Press/S. Lawrence, 1975 Lennart Nilsson's pioneering photographs of in vivo post conception human life were shown to the world in Life magazine in 1965. A Child is Born, the original Swedish version of this book, also published in 1965, sold eight million copies in the first four days after publication. According to Wikipedia, some of the photographs were later included on the Voyager spacecraft. This 1975 edition actually shows naked human bodies and acurately and matter of factly describes intercourse, pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. Nilsson shows a baby being born with head emerging from the mother's body "through the hole between her legs called the vagina. . . . Giving birth is very hard work for a mother. Afterwards she has a great feeling of relief and joy." Very nice book in very good condition. There is a small stain on the back free page. Boards are clean and straight. Dust jacket is clipped and has two tears around one inch and several chips.
