Bruce Chatwin`s death from AIDS in 1989 brought a meteoric career to an abrupt end, since he burst onto the literary scene in 1977 with his first book, In Patagonia. Chatwin himself was different things to different people: a journalist, a photographer, an art collector, a restless traveller & a best-selling author; he was also a married man, an active homosexual, a socialite who loved to mix with the rich & famous, & a single-minded loner who explored the limits of extreme solitude. From unrestricted access to Chatwin`s private notebooks, diaries & letters, Nicholas Shakespeare has compiled the definitive biography of one of the most charismatic & elusive literary figures of our time. ...

In 1960, after an intense year photographing the notorious Brooklyn street gang The Jokers, Bruce Davidson decided to remove himself from the tension & depression of that work. He received an assignment to photograph Marilyn Monroe during the making of John Houston`s The Misfits in the Nevada desert, & then travelled to London on commission for Queen magazine. Published by Jocelyn Stevens, Queen was devoted to British lifestyle & Davidson was charged, with no specific agenda, to spend a couple of months touring England & Scotland to create a visual portrait of the two countries.

Reflecting a post-war era in which the revolutions of the 1960s had not quite yet entered the mainstream, Davidson`s photographs reveal societies driven by difference the extremes of city & country life, of the landed gentry & the common people. Published for the first time in its entirety in 2005, this new edition has a larger ideal format chosen by Davidson initially for his Outside Inside (2010), & now the standard size for his future publications with Steidl.
