Ce livre est vraiment intéressant sous beaucoup d'angles différents.
Outre le côté documentaire pur, la qualité des photos et du texte font ressentir l'étrangeté et la force des liens qui unissent les animaux et les hommes dont il est question.
Beaucoup d'autres aspects sont évoqués (directement ou non) avec un éclairage particulier qui amène à la réflexion et suscite de multiples interrogations : On voudrait toujours en savoir plus sur la vie de ces gens et de leurs bêtes.
Un reportage exceptionnel , un regard curieux, tout en nuances qui sait faire partager le quotidien tout en ouvrant sur des questionnements plus larges, sans a priori ou jugement.

The Hyena & Other Men ハードカバー – 2008/2/28
英語版
Pieter Hugo
(著),
Adetokunbo Abiola
(著)
Many myths surround the Hyena Men who haunt the peripheries of Nigeria's cities. Accompanied by hyenas, rock pythons and baboons, these men earn a living by performing before crowds and selling traditional medicines. Pieter Hugo's extraordinary portraits of their liminal existence reveal an uncanny world of complex, codependent relationships, where familiar distinctions between dominance and submission, wildness and domesticity, tradition and modernity are constantly subverted.

...but they are people like unto you
2010年4月16日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
It never fails. A friend picks up my copy of the book, staring at the photo on the jacket, and then starts to turn each page, slowly, softly whistling, or humming, or whispering, "what IS this?"
I've been around wild hyenas a bit, and they're fascinating animals. Their "laughing" is clearly a complex, almost dolphin-like language. They're rather timid, nowhere near as ferocious and dangerous as the big cats, to which they are apparently related.
And then, the photos of man and baboon, just two stoic guys looking at the camera. These are photos that defy description. It's true, as one reviewer observed, there aren't enough photos. How could there be enough?

pictures of shocking brutality
2012年7月9日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Wonderful photographs of a brutal and little known subject. Not uplifting but cautionary. I open this book everytime with a shrinking feeling at being exposed to the savage implications of the images. But I'm very glad I have it.

Captivating and slightly disappointing

Ever since I heard about this book at a photo festival I knew that I had to have it. The photos are very captivating. The most difficult part about being a great photojournalist is not to capture sharp or well composed images, but rather the telling of stories from areas or societies that not everyone has access to. Hugo has done a phenomenal job on gaining the acceptance of the dog trainers and perhaps even the dogs/hyenas themselves.The photos in this book are masterfully done in every respect. Printing is exquisite.
However, my gripe is with the editing of the book itself and in the selection of images.
After about 20 photos of the same couple of guys posing with their hyenas I want to see more. Several phots look like they have been taken minutes apart. There is little contact between man and dog and even with their surroundings. We don't get to know the people behind the hyenas, it is as if we meet them by chance on the street and they agree to pose for us.
All that said, I think this book is slated to be a future classic, epecially if Hugo made a re-edition with more varied images!

Die Hyänenmänner Nigerias sind durch dieses Buch und die hochpreisig angebotenen Fotos zu einer gewissen Berühmtheit gelangt. Pieter Hugo sind hier beeindruckende Zeugnisse der afrikanischen Realität gelungen, die deutlich zeigen, dass die große Not zu einer solchen Entwicklung führt. Im überfüllten Nigeria sind alle Mittel recht um zu einem noch so bescheidenen Einkommen zu gelangen.
Leider führten die Bilder ausschließlich beim Fotografen und dessen Galeristen zu einer Steigerung des Wohlstands.
