Facsimile pages from the diaries, along with images by the photographer, including self‑portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. As curator Tomáš Pospěch writes, “Koudelka’s diaries are a ‘cookbook’ of classic photography. He associated with the most renowned photographers. His notes sum up his rich experience, including the now‑vanishing technology of analogue black‑and‑white photography. His remarks, quips, and stories reappear, just as he repeatedly made resolutions, affirmed the rules he had adopted, and recalled earlier events and dreams.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diaries\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/strong\u003eAperture, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Martin Parr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditor: \u003c\/strong\u003eMelissa Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSelection \u0026amp; Postscript: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eTomáš Pospěch\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e Derek and Marzia Paton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eGraphic-Design: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAleš Najbrt \u0026amp; Andrea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eVacovská (Studio Najbrt)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e 14.7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e x 21 cm, \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e 9781597115933\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"* New or Sealed *","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56772475814268,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2244\/5351\/files\/KoudelkaDiariesCover.jpg?v=1778675156","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.thephotographersgallery.org.uk\/products\/josef-koudelka-diaries","provider":"TPG Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
