Drawn Testimony My Four Decades as a Courtroom Sketch Artist by Jane Rosenberg - Harlequin Trade Publishing | Hanover Square Press

Drawn Testimony My Four Decades as a Courtroom Sketch Artist  by Jane Rosenberg - Harlequin Trade Publishing | Hanover Square Press


Pub Date Aug 13 2024

Imagina la responsabilidad de capturar la verdad en unos cuantos trazos, ¿es arte? es periodismo? Si me conoces sabes que me encanta el arte, el dibujo, la pintura. Pero el capturar en vivo, en un tiempo limitado y con la necesidad de poner lo que ves y no lo que captas, intuyes o traduces, es decir, siendo ético, ha de ser un reto increíble.

Si alguna vez has visto el boceto de un juicio de alto perfil en las noticias, es muy probable que hayas estado mirando el trabajo de Jane Rosenberg. Drawn Testimony es una ventana fascinante y profundamente humana a un oficio que está desapareciendo: el de artista de tribunales. Me encantaría conocerla! las historias que tendrá (que no ha sido posible capturar en un boceto).

Lo hermoso de este libro es que no se limita a ser un portafolio de sus dibujos más famosos (aunque ver sus trazos de personajes como John Lennon, Mick Jagger o criminales notorios es un deleite). Jane nos lleva detrás de sus binoculares para mostrar lo que significa capturar la tensión, el miedo, la arrogancia o la absoluta desesperación de un ser humano en cuestión de minutos, bajo una presión tremenda. Qué facinante.

Es un libro corto, íntimo y honesto. Rosenberg escribe con la misma precisión con la que dibuja, recordándonos que, más allá de las leyes y los veredictos, los tribunales están llenos de historias humanas crudas. Una lectura atrapante, original y muy visual, perfecta para los amantes del arte, el crimen real y la psicología humana.

Description

*INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*

Subconsciously, I pressed myself into the loch's banks as that summer inched forward. We'd got off to a rocky beginning, but I started to see Treig in a different way. There was something about this land that told me just to hold on a while longer. It might've been just a whisper at the time, but I knew it was definitely worth heeding. I just knew that was it. This was the place.

Seventy-four-year-old Ken Smith has spent the past four decades in the Scottish Highlands. His home is a log cabin nestled near Loch Treig, known as "the lonely loch," where he lives off the land. He fishes for his supper, chops his own wood and even brews his own tipple. He is, in the truest sense of the word, a hermit.

From his working-class origins in Derbyshire, Ken always sensed that there was more ot life than an empty nine to five. Then one day in 1974, an attack from a group of drunken men left him for dead. Determined to change his prospects, Ken quit his job and spent his formative years traveling in the Yukon. It was here, in the vast wilderness of northwestern Canada, that he honed his survival skills and grew closer to nature. Returning to Britain, he continued his nomadic lifestyle, wandering north and living in huts until he finally reached Loch Treig. Ken decided to lay his roots amongst the dense woodland and Highland air, and has lived there ever since.

In The Way of the Hermit, Ken shares the remarkable story of his lfe for the very first time. Told with humor and compassion, his unique insights allow us to glimpse the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature and offer wisdom on how each of us can escape the pressures and stresses of modern life.
