Isbn: 9780375753961 - slightly out of focus: the legendary photojournalist's illustrated memoir of world war ii (46 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In 1942, a dashing young man who liked nothing so much as a heated game of poker, a good bottle of scotch, and the company of a pretty girl hopped a merchant ship to England. He was Robert Capa, the brilliant and daring photojournalist, and Collier's magazine had put him on assignment to photograph the war raging in Europe. In these pages, Capa recounts his terrifying journey through the darkest battles of World War II and shares his memories of the men and women of the Allied forces who befriended, amused, and captivated him along the way. His photographs are masterpieces -- John G. Morris, Magnum Photos' first executive editor, called Capa "the century's greatest battlefield photographer" -- and his writing is by turns riotously funny and deeply moving. From Sicily to London, Normandy to Algiers, Capa experienced some of the most trying conditions imaginable, yet his compassion and wit shine on every page of this book. Charming and profound, Slightly Out of Focus is a marvelous memoir told in words and pictures by an extraordinary man.…

Paperback. First paperback edition, first printing. The autobiography of Robert Capa. As Capa once said: "If your pictures are no good, you're not close enough." He was close enough during the Spanish Civil War to lose his girlfriend, close enough on D-Day to be in the second landing, and finally close enough in Vietnam to be killed by a land mine. He was the model of the swashbuckling photojournalist. A very entertaining and readable account of his life through World War II. Foreword by Cornell Capa; introduction by Richard Whelan. 236 pages; full-page b&w photos throughout; 5.25 x 8 inches. Ref for the first edition: Roth, Book of 101 Books, p126-127; The Open Book, p148-149.
