SynopsisBorn in Czechoslovakia in 1938, Koudelka left the country in 1968 and was awarded asylum in England.

This book confirms and illustrates Koudelka's powerful gift for exposing conditions in the European social, political, and physical landscape., The classic Photofile series brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive format and at a reasonable price., Before the beginning of his exile, Koudelka had already produced two works of great importance. One documented the Prague Spring, while the other, on gypsies, could almost have been an ethnological study had its images not been charged with so much emotion. Unknown in 1970, he has risen to become one of the most powerful photographers of the day. This book shows that in the lands of exile through which he travels with his amazing urge to see, Koudelka's own particular talent has been affirmed and expanded.
