Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Decades of writing on art and lifeBy W. UterThis is a wonderful; comprehensive collection nicely supplementing Bergers major books; such as "ways of seeing"; "a fortunate man" (out of print; alas); or the more recent "here is where we meet" or "from A to X". You either love Bergers writing and his particular perspective; or dislike his style; I guess. I do belong to the former subgroup. Not having finished reading this big e-book; and not feeling like a literature critic in a foreing language anyway; I just want to point to a flaw of the *kindle edition*:The older texts at least seem to have been scanned and processed with OCR - this resulted in some annoying wrong words; most notably "die" instead of "the" several dozen times in the first essay "Drawing". For me as a German native (speaker) this is especially puzzling; as "die" is the female form of the direct article; so it is something like a near miss from a foreing language. I would appreciate tighter editorial control of the final texts; beyond automated spell-checking - otherwise e-books (generated from scans) achieve a cheap appearance (without being *that* cheap).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
