Description

A masterpiece of 20th-century photography, “Exiles” documents Josef Koudelka’s twenty-year journey across Europe after leaving Czechoslovakia in 1970. This 2014 revised edition, published by Aperture, features ten previously unpublished images and a new commentary. The book captures the spiritual and physical state of exile through Koudelka’s stark, unsentimental, and deeply human imagery. It includes a powerful introductory essay by Nobel Prize winner Czesław Miłosz and text by Robert Delpire, exploring themes of alienation, nomadic freedom, and the search for a spiritual homeland.
