James Fenton Volgorde van de boeken
James Fenton is een dichter wiens werk wordt gekenmerkt door scherpe observatie en politiek inzicht. Zijn vroege ervaringen in de journalistiek en als oorlogscorrespondent vormden zijn vermogen om de essentie van gebeurtenissen en menselijke lotgevallen vast te leggen. Fenton's stijl is precies maar toch suggestief, waarbij hij persoonlijke reflecties vaak verweeft met bredere maatschappelijke commentaren. Zijn poëzie verkent de complexiteit van de moderne wereld met een unieke mix van intelligentie en empathie.

Reportage resists easy definition and comes in many forms - travel essay, narrative history, autobiography - but at its finest it reveals hidden truths about people and events that have shaped the world we know. This new series, hailed as 'a wonderful idea' by Don DeLillo, both restores to print and introduces for the first time some of the greatest works of the genre. A visceral, on-the-spot, and unforgettable account of the fall of Saigon, war-ravaged Cambodia, and the Philippines in the midst of revolution from James Fenton, the right man in the wrong place in dangerous times.

What plants would you choose to grow, given an empty patch, and given the stipulation that you don't want to spend six months first designing it on a piece of graph paper and that everything you grow in this garden must be raised by you from seed? What would you like to eat next year, which flowers would give you most pleasure? With this simple premise, James Fenton sets out his happy vision of a garden, and devises the perfect starter kit for gardens as modest as a face flannel on a windowsill, or as grand as Versailles.
