This book follows the chronology of a body of work that stands as a monument in the history of photography. It brings together a very large number of images, giving an idea of the profusion but also outlining the way in which the photographer operates in the field. It unfolds the major stages of a career whose brilliance has few equals, and gives space to several "icons" that emerge from this exceptional corpus. His war reports shape his legend – see the text by Michel Lefebvre –, but while often being the first and closest, Capa also shows us reality from other angles: his images describe moments that bring us back to the man, to his sensitivity towards victims and migrants, thus evoking his journey from his native Hungary. They say that it is between the notes that the music is heard: this book reveals certain facets of a complex character, enterprising but probably never completely satisfied, and who does not hesitate to risk his career as well as his life. If Capa demonstrated a gambler's temperament, his work takes on an epic dimension whose outcome will not have escaped tragedy.
