Softcover. Etat : Good. Conventional wisdom suggests that aesthetic experiences - those moments when the senses come to life - are important only after more basic needs have been met. In this inspiring wealth of provocative ideas, Yi-Fu Tuan demonstrates that feeling and beauty are essential parts of life and society. The aesthetic is shown to be not merely one aspect of culture but its central core - both its driving force and its ultimate goal. Beginning with the individual and the physical world, the author's exploration progresses from the simple to the complex. Tuan starts by examining the building blocks of aesthetic experience - sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste - and gradually expands his analysis to include the most elaborate of human constructs, including art, architecture, literature, philosophy, music, and landscape. This leads him to the realm of politics, where he grapples with the fundamental question of the relationship between goodness and beauty, and of how the aesthetic can become a moral force within society. To guide the reader along this journey, the author describes how the aesthetic operates in four widely disparate Australian aboriginal, Chinese, medieval European, and modern American. Yi-Fu Tuan, one of our most influential and original thinkers, brilliantly conveys the profound fascination of multisensory reality, and in so doing enables us to make connections among even the most diffuse elements of our lives. While Tuan does not ignore human folly, Passing Strange and Wonderful is a celebration of the world around us, our experiences, and our creations.

Softcover. Etat : Good. 1. In 1869 a half-blind Greek-Irish teenager named Lafcadio Hearn came to Cincinnati, Ohio, and by the age of twenty-four became the city's most famous newspaper reporter on the strength of his lurid crime stories and bizarre explorations of the city's dark underside.Fired in 1877 for his brief marriage to a black woman, he wandered from New Orleans to New York to the Caribbean before finally settling in Japan where, in a unique act of self-transformation, he became a Japanese patriot and patriarch.Full of excerpts from Hearn's writing, Jonathan Cott's insightful portrayal of an extraordinary life recovers for a Western audience a unique figure of the nineteenth century.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. A Stranger in Tibet To reach the "forbidden city" of Lhasa was the dream of generations of Western explorers. But until 1900 when Kawaguchi Ekai, a young Zen monk, donned a disguise and walked all the way there, few foreigners had ever done so. Clinging staunchly to his chastity; leaving a trail of broken hearts across the Himalayas; oppressed by the cultural impossibility of bathing, yet frequently almost drowned in river crossings; often lost and on the verge of starving or freezing to death; robbed by highwaymen, and taken for a spy; speaking fluently the language of a people he preferred not to understand. This brave, bigoted, and enterprising traveler was eventually to cross Tibet from west to east, study in one of the country's greatest monasteries, and keep his secret there for over a year. His first full length biography is based on memories and the information gathered by the author.

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Good. First Edition. The art of Japan is at once an expression of the relative unity of Far Eastern culture and a sophisticated metamorphosis of native aesthetic canons that has produced an international style as distinctive as the Rococo and the Islamic. In a brilliant crystallization of the essence of Japanese design, Dr. Sherman Lee, one of the foremost authorities in the field, recalls the supremacy of Chinese civilization in Asian culture, and reveals, first, how the Far Eastern situation differed from that of the Western world, and then, in light of this, how the Japanese came to assert their own aesthetic inclinations. Dr. Lee's lucid analysis, substantiated by the finest examples of Japanese art (32 color plates, 800 black-and-white plates, including 17 pages of Japanese mon, or family crests), offers a stimulating discussion of how Japanese art differs from Chinese, going beyond mere generalities to the quintessence of Japanese aesthetic design.According to Dr. Lee, the Japanese eye delights in asymmetry, intuitive placement, subtle shades and combinations of colors, as compared to the Chinese proclivity toward balance, rational sequence, and purity and separation of colors. The vocabulary of Japanese design is distinguished by the dominance of asymmetric composition, the dominance of the material over the carefully reticent hand of the artist, the dominance of pattern and of motif, often traditional and with literary overtones.More than an essay about art divorced from culture, Dr. Lee's sensitive introductory text acknowledges the role of the natural and social environment upon the Japanese psyche. His chronological treatment examines the maturation of a sumptuous decorative style that finds its antecedents in Yamato-e of the Fujiwara Period (897-1185). Enhanced by the tea taste of the Momoyama Period (1573-1615), this culminated in the splendid Rimpa style which today still colors the aesthetic sense of modern Japanese. In addition, he discusses the place of ukiyo-e and garden art to present a full consideration of the distinctive vocabulary and singular spirit of Japanese design.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. Seven men climbed the thirteen steps to the gallows that day in 1948. The setting was Tokyos bleak Sugamo prison, and six of the seven men were members of Japans once-powerful military clique. The seventh man was different. His name was Hirota Koki, and he was a civilian---a former career diplomat who had risen to be both foreign minister and prime minister. No one who knew Hirota could ever have foreseen that this unassuming, rather schoolmasterish figure would one day be charged as a war criminal, much less that he would be singled out as a leader of a conspiracy to wage a war of aggression. In recounting this tragedy of an ordinary man caught up in the cogs of fate, the author skillfully interweaves it with the broad stream of events and the careers of Hirotas contemporaries. ---from the dust jacket.
