Background information
"'Brodsky's poetic genius explodes,' wrote Time when 'Shore of the Lost' first appeared in 1991. Together with Peter-Andreas HASSIEPEN's color photographs of everyday Venice, this is a book for Brodsky lovers, Venice travelers, and those who still want to discover the city." (freely translated, © Hanser Verlag, 2001)
Content
Fifteen color photographs by Peter-Andreas HASSIEPEN illustrate the book 'Ufer der Verlornen' by Joseph Brodsky, which comprises about 120 pages. The place and time of the color photographs taken remain unmentioned; in a very restrained manner they illustrate the text, relatively large for the small volume - either in full-page portrait format or as a header running over two pages.
In the Press
"Wintry Venice inspires Brodsky, an eye man fixated on beauty,to breathtakingly articulated insights on eternal themes. Love, Eros, fidelity, dreams, longings and the pain of separation." (freely translated, © Die Zeit)
