Book Reviews of Inferno
Book Review: Beyond words
Summary: 5 Stars
There are no words to describe this book. But as this is a review, I'll have to use them so I'll try. Watching these photo's for me is a physical experience. My heart starts to pound and the hairs in my neck stand on end. Reading about the atrocities that happen in the world, seeing documentaries, can't compare to James Nachtwey's work, the photo's are that powerful. James Nachtwey succeeds in making the people who read the book witnesses also. So that we can never again say that we didn't know this was happening. And by making us witnesses, he obliges us not to turn our backs to the Inferno that too many parts of the world still are. But however shocking these photo's are, love and compassion also speak through them. Love for human beings,love for the dignity the nameless persons in these pictures continue to posess in the eyes of James Nachtwey and therefore also in the eyes of the reader.This book reached out and touched me deeply. It made me feel connected to those nameless people, who speak so loudly in these photographs. And however deeply angry I am that the world is still such a cruel place for so many of us humans, the anger doesnt make me feel powerless. But hopeful that I am not the only one who feels this connection and that if enough people do feel the same, we as human beings can stop these things from happening. This book empowers us and it made a difference to me in a profound way. Thank you, James Nachtwey.Book Review: Breathless and Speechless
Summary: 5 Stars
Nachtwey takes us on a journey through the catastrophic results of human conflict and shows us the faces of those caught in the middle of greed, power, and international neglect. I am left breathless and speechless after pouring over this book for the last 2 hours. Never has a photography book had such an emotional impact on me. The images in this book are tragic and horrific and yet are the most beautiful and compassionate photographs I have ever seen. Thank you James Nachtwey for taking these images and creating this unforgettable book. Inferno is a masterpiece.Book Review: Breathtaking
Summary: 5 Stars
There's little to say about this book other than it is a monumental masterpiece! Nachtwey's photographes literally jump from the pages of "Inferno" and into the soul of the reader. They speak to the horrors that human beings convey upon one another while, at the same time, they reveal the unimpeachable dedication of one man (Nachtwey) to ending such atrocities. This is a book that will out live us all. Hopefully, it will appear in college courses 100 years from now as a testament to humanity's past, not its present condition. This book is highly recommended!Book Review: Brings out emotions that have been hidden
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many other reviewers, I think this collection of photos is beyond words. It may sound cliche to say this book brings out emotions inside you that have been hidden or you never knew existed, but it is true.
I heard about this book and had seen a few of the images from it in a TIME issue from sometime ago. I found a copy and looked through it.....
I could not stop and finally took the copy and bought it...
It had seared itself into my mind and I needed to own a copy because I could not ever let myself forget that the images inside this book are real and to forget they exist or happen would be like losing part of my humanity.
Highly Recommended!!!
