And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos by John Berger (Omnibus)
Simon McBurney and Harriet Walter read John Berger鈥檚 most personal book - part poetry collection, memoir and love letter.
Simon McBurney reads John Berger's most personal book: part essay, part poetry collection, part memoir and love letter.
McBurney also shares memories of Berger and the house and landscape that inspired the book in the early 1980s.
We first meet Berger in his beloved Haute-Savoie mountains, as he crosses the frontier into Italy and begins a rumination on human conceptions of time, memory, poetry and art, specifically the paintings of Rembrandt.
Harriet Walter reads his poetry.
Omnibus of five parts.
Abridged and produced by Simon Richardson.
First broadcast on 麻豆社 Radio 4 in April 2017.
