"Fotografie," published in 1956 by Czech photographer Josef Sudek, known as the "Poet of Prague," is considered one of the greatest art photography books published in the 20th century. It has also been featured in "The Book of 101 Books" and "The Photobook: A History (Parr & Badger)" series by renowned photography historians Andrew Roth, Gerry Badger, and Martin Parr. The 232 images, including streetscapes, landscapes, still lifes, and portraits—pre- and post-war Czech landscapes and cityscapes, contrasts of light and shadow, textures of trees and flowers, exemplary still lifes of food, and vibrant panoramas—are arranged like a single story, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Sudek's worldview. The book's unified black design, including the cover logo and blacked-out top edges, and the sepia-toned prints are also outstanding. This book teaches us that even in our everyday lives, there are many beautiful worlds to be found, depending on how we look at and perceive things. The text is in Czech.
