{"product_id":"9783863353032","title":"Boris Mikhailov: Books","description":"\u003cp\u003eUkrainian documentary photographer Boris Mikhailov (born 1938) is internationally admired for his intense, clear-eyed depictions of his homeland, the Ukraine—most famously, his portrayals of the everyday struggles of the \u003ci\u003ebomzhes\u003c\/i\u003e, the homeless, a class that dramatically enlarged after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Using this raw and emotive material, Mikhailov touches on themes ranging from the living conditions in post-communist Eastern Europe and the fallen ideals of the Soviet Union to the harsher trials of human existence. Although deeply rooted in a specific historical context, his work also narrates more accessible, personal threads of humor, lust, vulnerability, aging and death. This publication presents, in facsimile, Mikhailov’s well-known artist’s books \u003ci\u003eKrymskaja Fotomanija\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eCrimean Photomania\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003ci\u003eMountains\u003c\/i\u003e, each of which is 128 pages and which are here supplemented by 80 pages of informative, illustrated text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walther Konig Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052248350960,"sku":"9783863353032","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783863353032_p0.jpg?v=1763697571","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783863353032","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
