Paperback. Condition: Good +. Oversize trade paperback. Self-published by the authors, no indication of printing. A good+ to very good copy with minor edge-wear and some scuffing to the pictoral covers. Creasing at the bottom front corner of the cover and title page is the book's main flaw. Interior is clean and unmarked, and ti…ght as if unread. 120 pp., filled with black and white, as well as color, photographs. This is the story of constructed town where preserved historic buildings are brought. An unusual form of preservation, and a hard to find title.

Hardback. Condition: New. A unique blend of fiction and biography that explores the fascinating life of early-twentieth-century Czech photographer Frantisek Drtikol. Have you ever wondered what a story written by a beam of light would be like? The story would be ordinary, but the course of events extraordinary. Its hero would b…e a photographer, a guardian of light. And, naturally, the tale would be full of shadow. A History of Light delves into the fascinating life of Frantisek Drtikol (1883-1961), an important figure in early-twentieth-century photography who is all but forgotten in contemporary times. A dandy from a small mining town, a world-famous photographer whose business went bankrupt, a master of the nude who never had much luck with women, a mystic and a Buddhist who believed in communism-a man whose numerous contradictions were evident externally and synthesized internally. A unique blend of fiction and biography, this novel vividly portrays Drtikol's life, tracing the diverse stages of his career and offering detailed, almost encyclopedic insights into the times and places pivotal to his journey. Acclaimed Czech author Jan Nemec narrates the story in the uncommon second-person singular, speaking directly to his subject. Fresco-like, this novel is an artistic and spiritual Bildungsroman that covers over half a century, bringing to life the silver mines of Príbram, Jugendstil Munich, and the Bohemianism of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Drtikol's role as a photographer is set against the turbulent history of Central Europe through the two World Wars, and the events of those five decades form a riveting backdrop for an exploration of the artist's work.
