One of the greatest thinkers in postwar Britain (Guardian)

His writing ... has changed the way many of us see the world ... Berger has that rare and wonderful gift of being able to make complex thoughts simple (Kate Kellaway Observer)

John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at things till we see what we thought wasn't there. But above all he teaches us how to love in the face of adversity. He is a master (Arundhati Roy)

He handles thoughts the way an artist handles paint (Jeanette Winterson)

Berger is terrific ... Brilliant (Scotsman)
