Overview
“Cataract,” a word with Greek origins, has been used to refer to a waterfall or to a gate, an obstruction that impedes movement. This book is a collection of notes and reflections from one of the premier contemporary art critics, John Berger, after he underwent cataract surgery in both eyes. A great expert in the analysis of ways of seeing, Berger narrates his own rediscovery of sight in this incredible essay.
 
La palabra de origen griego ?catarata? posee el doble significado de cascada y verja levadiza, una obstrucción que desciende desde lo alto e impide el paso. Este libro recoge notas y reflexiones de uno de los críticos de arte contemporáneos de mayor ingenio, John Berger, tras haber sido operado de cataratas en los dos ojos. Gran experto en el análisis de los ?modos de ver?, Berger relata en este maravilloso texto el redescubrimiento de la vista en carne propia. Con dibujos de Selçuk Demirel.
