I got these two wonderful beauties called books at a book store today with a gift card I got for Christmas. :) Can’t wait to read them.

“Until very recently the only material available to a village and its peasants for defining themselves was their own spoken words. The village’s portrait of itself was – apart from the physical achievements of their work – the only reflection of the meaning of their existence. Nothing and nobody else acknowledged such a meaning. Without such a portrait – and the ‘gossip’ which is its raw material – the village would have been forced to doubt its own existence. Every story and every comment on the story which is a proof that the story has beenwitnessedcontributes to the portrait, and confirms the existence of the village.”
John Berger, “The Storyteller”, Selected Essays
