By Susan Sontag

FSG 80th Anniversary Special Edition.

A groundbreaking collection of essays that examines the powerful and often contradictory role images play in modern life. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, the book has influenced generations of writers, critics, and thinkers since its publication in 1977.

Across six incisive essays, Sontag explores photography as a means of seduction, advertising, commemoration, persuasion, and deception. With her characteristic intellectual rigor and skepticism toward conventional wisdom, she considers how photographs shape our understanding of reality, authority, and experience. Prescient and deeply thought-provoking, On Photography remains an essential work for anyone interested in the meaning and power of images.
