Título: Tereska & Her Photographer
Autor: Carole Naggar
Sinopse: "'Tereska and her photographer: a story' is a photobook that presents a fictional story by Carole Naggar about the extraordinary parallel lives of Magnum photographer and co-founder David 'Chim' Seymour and Tereska Adwentowska, a young Polish girl who was the subject of Chim's most famous photograph. In September 1948, while on assignment for UNICEF to report on Europe's children, Chim photographed Tereska at a primary school in Warsaw, Poland. Millions of readers saw Tereska's picture when it was published in Life magazine in December of the same year, and were moved by her plight. She had received a shrapnel wound during the Wola massacre, and her image became emblematic of childrens fate during World War II. In the aftermath of the war, Chim tried to discover her full name and story. However, both Chim and Tereska met absurd deaths before ever meeting again. Based on historical facts, Tereska and her Photographer is a fiction built as a small opera, where all the characters in Chim and Tereskas lives bring their various voices to the narrative. They include: Tereska, Chim, Tereskas parents (whose father was a Freedom Fighter during Warsaws Uprising), Doctor Stanislaw Wiktor Sierpiski (a survivor of Otwocks massacre), Enrique Meneses, Jr. (a journalist who explored Chim and journalist Jean Roys deaths in Egypt), and several others. The books chronology is nonlinear, weaving vignettes from 1948 and the present with those from Chims youth and Tereskas early childhood. David 'Chim' Seymours photographs, along with several anonymous historical images, are inventively presented and arranged by award-winning book designer Ricardo Báez with striking typography by Juan Mercerón."--Publisher's website.
