Afghanistan, Angola, Cuba, Guatemala, Mongolia, Nagorno Kharabah, Rwanda, Venezuela, Zimbabwe. Nine countries in the photographs of Antonin Kratochvil. The photographer of Czech origin tells through his images the harsh living conditions, the suffering, the violence, the misery and desperation that still reign on our planet. Different countries but united by the experience of pain and tragedy. Poor people who have nothing left to lose, sick people without hope, children without a future, refugees, prisoners. Harsh and dramatic photographs that capture the essence of these tragedies, which document shocking realities. Realities not new to the photographer who, also a refugee, lived for years in internment camps. The nine sections that make up the book, one for each country, they are introduced by a short text, each by the same photographer, who presents us with the situation of the country visited and tells us about his experience, his encounters.
