| A philosophical exploration of the nature of photography and its impact on society. Despite the academic language, the work is gripping due to the relevance of its ideas. Sontag sees photography not just as art, but as a powerful tool for perceiving ...more | |

"Эта книга не такая, как другие книги Дмитрия Беркута - хотя, собственно, у него все книги разные.
Можно назвать её чем-то вроде путевых заметок или кусочка автобиографии, но это будет полуправда. Она простая, но не примитивная, позитивная, но не пустая" Read more of this review » |

Соня, уйди! Софья Толстая: взгляд мужчины и женщины:
""Sonya, go away" is not a biography of Sofia Andreevna Tolstoy, rather a lively conversation about what a woman was like, without whom we would not have such a great writer as we know him now. "Anna Karenina" would have lost the incredibly charming s"

“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”

“We are all connected by the finest of threads. We create worlds for each other through our existence. When someone close to you dies, it immediately affects everything around you; and everyone’s lives, whether they feel it or not, are changed forever.”

“Long ago, we had both realized that the only constructive conversation possible between us was sex. Neither of us could hear normal words. We each spoke our minds and listened only to ourselves. Only during sex did we share sensations and truly be present together. How long could that last? Probably forever. Would we have been happy for eternity? Why not? Sex wasn’t about interests or cultural differences; it was self-sufficient.”

“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
