Book Reviews of Inferno
Book Review: I can't believe myself
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not really reviewing this book, I'm reviewing myself, my reaction to the book. Because there is nothing that is not perfect about this book. It's stunning. Dazzling. The only thing that's wrong is my reaction to this book. I wish I could make myself read part of it every day, because I know that if I don't look at at least one picture, I'll forget the books entire impact. I have that ability, to just wipe sad things from my mind. That's probably the sickness that grasps the American people as a whole: the ability to just forget, no matter what they've been shown. They can just forget, and go on living as if each day in the safest country on earth were an adventure. But if I do read this book, I go insane. I'm infused with an unquenchable desire to DO something. Doesn't matter what. I'm that way, too. I need to fill the void that these pictures create in me with action. But what can I do? That is my mantra. What can I do for thousands starving, being beaten, sufering at the hands of others, nature, themselves. The answer is nothing. I can do nothing. I want to apologize to every person in this book for my uselessness. I as an individual can do nothing. But I as a group can do a lot. I as a group of people can accomplish anything, and I think that as well every time I read this book. I think that if I were part of a group, I would be able to help. So I want to apologize for not being part of a group yet. I'm sorry I can do nothing, yet.Book Review: Il lato peggiore dell'uomo
Summary: 5 Stars
E' impossibile trovare le parole per descrivere queste immagini. Sono fotografie che parlano da sole e colpiscono duro, lasciandoti solo, con mille domande, a cercare una risposta che è solo sussurrata nel vento.... Dedicato a tutti coloro che pensano che la guerra possa portare a qualcosa di buono.
Un grosso grazie a James Nachtwey che per fare quello che fa deve essere parecchie spanne sopra tutti noi...

Summary: 5 Stars
I just love James Natchwey work in photography! The book is well made and the prints are of the highest quality. I gave it to my husband as a Christmas gift since he is a photographer too so he loved it!Book Review: Into the Fire
Summary: 5 Stars
A book that is not for everyone, yet everyone should see it. These are the faces of death and despair, the tears of anti-war, the bravery of war, the fear of not living another day, the fear of living yet another day...the courage, the persistance, the failure to give up...the hurt, the pain, the tears, the anger..in the lives that nightmares are made of... When you look at the photographs, you will never be the same. Study them. Let them go to your heart. Cry for them. Then reach out to them. And never, never forget......when I went into the Inferno, I never realized the impact it would have. We can be so distant to the people, but in this book...they come into our lives, making us aware that the world can be a living hell. James Nachtwey did a fantastic job catching the lives that we so often want to pretend don't exist. I highly recommend this book to all. Step into the fire. We all need to see........Book Review: Into the Fire
