About this book
Examining the themes of presence and absence, the relationship between photography and theatre, history and death, these 'reflections on photography' begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs. Then, as Barthes contemplates a photograph of his mother as a child, the book becomes an exposition of his own mind.
First line
One day, quite some time ago, I happened on a photograph of Napoleon's youngest brother Jerome, taken in 1852.
