Liebe; Armut und Verruuml;cktsein! Das soll zwischen zwei Buchdeckel passen? Oertel macht es - ohne viel Aufwand - passend; indem er einfach der Phantasie freien Lauf lauml;sst und das Leben aus einer etwas anderen Perspektive betrachtet. Plouml;tzlich scheint mehr mouml;glich. Plouml;tzlich scheint alles mouml;glich. Eben alles eine Frage des Blickwinkels. Und so wird in dem Buch eine Geschichte in schwarz-weiszlig;en Fotos von einer scheinbar armen Frau erzauml;hlt; einer Frau; in der dennoch ein Licht brennt; welches sie erkennt und mit welchem sie andere Menschen anstecken kann; dies auch umsetzt. Die Fotos werden von Gedanken junger Menschen begleitet. Das Buch wird so zu einem Plauml;doyer fuuml;r die Liebe mit all ihren Facetten.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. on very good ones and very bad onesBy N. K. GoldsmithBaton Rouge Sunday Advocate. Feb 16. 1969. Review by Kent GoldsmithVietnam: Our Beloved Land by Nguyen Cao Dam and Tran Cao Linh. (Charles E. Tuttle. $3.50 paperback) With the spate of books that have poured forth from a wide variety of sources on the subject ofVietnam. it should be refreshing to find one that is not totally war-oriented. Somehow. it is not. Vietnam. Our Beloved Land is a book of photographs which purports to portray ldquo;the images of Vietnam hellip; that the people keep in their heartsrdquo;. Such a picture does represent a welcome change from the over-reported. excessively opinionated ldquo;newsrdquo; to which the mass media have subjected the defenseless reader and viewer. For this reason alone. the book is probably worth obtaining. Technically. the photography is a study in extremes. There are no mediocre photos here; on very good ones and very bad ones. Since the pictures are shared about equally between the two authors. it would be nice if you could say that one is the better photographer and just let it go at that. Unfortunately. the bad shots are also about equally shared. The book is divided into subject sections. such as plains. highlands. the sea. the sand. etc. By far the best executed section is the one entitled ldquo;Sand Dunes.rdquo; Here the composition and contrast is skillfully played ndash; the result is an instant feeling of being there. of seeing what the photo portrays. The worst sections are those centering Vietnamese women and the Vietnamese soldier. Undoubtedly. the poorness of the ldquo;Soldier section is due to over-exposure (the viewer. not the film). The failure of ldquo;Womenrdquo; is more difficult to explain. Bad poses. pour illumination. no contrast. just about everything that can be done badly has been done just that way. Of course. if the book were as poorly done as all that. it would hardly be necessary to say so much about it. There is the fear that perhaps the reviewer is prejudiced. Anyone who has seen the plains and meadows by the light of a million candle-power flare; or has the death than can issue without warning from the dunes. the sea. the highlands; such a person will find it difficult these printed photographs of the idyllic land with the realities of today. Like most photographic works (and most written ones for that matter) the readers must decide the intrinsic value of the work for themselves.
