- Goran Tomasevic is a living legend, a master of the art of photography who follows in the footsteps of Robert Capa and James Nachtwey

"Tomasevic's images sear themselves into your consciousness. I have never seen such powerful imagery that not only captures the horror of war itself but also its heartrending impact on innocent civilians, on our sense of our own humanity. But they do much more than that. They have an iconic quality as if created with a painter's eye for detail, composition and contrast." - John Green, Morning Star "This powerful, terrible book conveys a Dantesque vision of our humanity. Admiration for Goran Tomasevic, a wonderful Caravaggio of photography!" - Francis Kochert, Académie nationale de Metz Goran Tomas?evic´ is a living legend. Not only has he survived for 30 years in crisis zones, but he has mastered the supreme art of photography, interpreting the world in a humanistic way, following in the footsteps of Robert Capa and James Nachtwey. This powerful, terrifying book conveys a Dantesque vision of our humanity. Current circumstances lead us to believe that this madness will go on and on. Goran is just 13 years old when his father gives him his first camera - an ancient FED 5V. And with it, his life begins to become a constant adventure, described in the 444 pages of this book. The quality of his reportage and the power of his images enabled him to join the Reuters agency in 1996 and, over the next 20 years, to become one of the most awarded photographers in the world. His oeuvre can be called a photographic synthesis of the arts, an eminent contribution to the great path of photo reportage and an indispensable history of the last 30 years. Goran Tomasevic's credo: "If you want to present the facts authentically, you have to be where they are. That's the challenge." Text in English, German, and French.
