These essays, as selected and translated by Stephen Heath, are among the finest writings Barthes ever published on film and photography, and on the phenomena of sound and image. The classic pieces "Introduction to the Structural Analysis of Narrative" and "The Death of the Author" are also included.
A collection of short essays on the use of word and image together. Some really strong ones, some that lag a little, but typically brilliant observations by Barthes.
