MAGNUM: FIFTY YEARS AT THE FRONT LINE OF HISTORY - THE STORY OF THE LEGENDARY PHOTO AGENCY
Book ID/图书代码： 11320005B04506
English Summary/英文概要： This book is a biography of Magnum, told largely in the words of its photographers. It offers a unique perspective on half a century of world history from an extraordinary group of men and women who were front line witnesses at virtually every major event in the last fifty years. Wars, famines, natural disasters, social, political and environmental crises - Magnum photographers were there. They have been acute observers of the human condition, photographing the richest people in the world, the poorest, the least known and the most celebrated, from Marilyn Monroe to Che Guevara, JFK to Nelson Mandela, Picasso to Krushchev. This is a multi-layered story. At one level, it tells how a small group of photographrs - among them Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and George Rodger - came together, established and nurtured a co-operative photographic agency that has survived against all the odds to become the most famous in the world. At a secondary level, it is the richly anecdotal story of the photographers themselves, their adventures around the world and their feelings about, and reactions to, their assignments.

Awards/获奖情况：“如果你拍的照片并不那么好，那说明你离真相还太远。”Robert Capa如是说。他是传奇摄影记者，他跟Henri Cartier-Bresson还有其他纪录片拍摄者于1947年一起创立了大酒瓶工作室。Capa死于1954年的一场大火，当时他去捕捉中印战争的真实画面。其他大酒瓶的摄影师都死在例如阿富汗、以色列、车臣等地方，他们奋斗在战争的最前线，亲眼见证历史性的一刻。在这本著作中，英国记者Russel Miller告诉大家他们的照片是如何改变人们对待战争、政治和冲突的观点。——Gregory McNamee，Amazon.co.uk评论
