"This book is the photography of humanity."--Gabriel Garcia
Marquez
"Salgado unveils the pain, the beauty, and the brutality of the
world of work on which everything rests. This is a collection of
deep devotion and impressive skill."--Arthur Miller
"Sebastiao Salgado has produced an elaborate, deluxe paean to
laborers throughout the world, from tea harvesters in Rwanda to
oil-well firefighters and well-cappers in Kuwait...He brings to the
composition of photojournalism skills akin to those of the painter
Caravaggio. "Workers "offers additional evidence of this mannerist
style, which has its photographic roots in the legacy of W. Eugene
Smith...There is no denying that Mr. Salgado's photographs command
attention."--Andy Grundberg, "The New York Times Book Review"
