Very Near Fine in Wraps: former owner's name at the upper corner of the front endpaper; and this is a REMAINDER, showing a rubber-stamped star at the bottom edge of the text block; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creases to the panels. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome very nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Virtually 'As New'. NOT a Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. (8.25 x 5.5 x 0.4 inches). 102 pages. Language: English. Weight: 5.6 ounces. Trade Paperback. Booker Prize-winning author John Berger reveals the ties between love and absence, the ways poetry endows language with the assurance of prayer, and the tensions between the forward movement of sexuality and the steady backward tug of time. He recreates the mysterious forces at work in a Rembrandt painting, transcribes the sensorial experience of viewing lilacs at dusk, and explores the meaning of home to early man and to the hundreds of thousands of displaced people in our cities today. And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos is a seamless fusion of the political and personal.
