Exiles. Photographs by Josef Koudelka. Prepared and designed by Robert Delpire. Essay by Czeslaw Milosz. Delpire, Paris, 1997. Unpaged. Oblong quarto. Second edition. Clothbound in photo-illustrated dust jacket. Black-and-white illustrations. Printed and bound by Jean Genoud, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Koudelka's follow-up to Gypsies is a study of the physical and spiritual state of exile, investigating the lives of people in that situation, for one reason or another. Koudelka's brilliant photographs are nearly mythical in their portrayal of what John Szarkowski calls "the prototypical rituals." Nobel Prize-winning author Czeslaw Milosz contributes a stirring text, speaking vividly to the soul in search of a spiritual homeland.
