Roald Barthes. — Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography.
London Vintage Classics 1993 Softcover, 119pp., 13x19,5cm., illustr. in b/w., in very good condition (covers with light traces of use). ISBN 9780099225416. Examining the themes of presence and absence, the relationship between photography and theatre, history and death, these 'reflections on photography' begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs. Then, as Barthes contemplates a photograph of his mother as a child, the book becomes an exposition of his own mind.
