FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 168 pp. ; 8 illus. 3 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Henry Darger 1892–1973 was a hospital janitor and an immensely productive artist and writer. In the first decades of adulthood he wrote a 15145-page fictional epic In the Realms of the Unreal. He spent much of the rest of his long life illustrating it in astonishing drawings and watercolors. In Darger's unfolding saga pastoral utopias are repeatedly savaged by extreme violence directed at children particularly girls. Given his disturbing subject matter and the extreme solitude he maintained throughout his life critics have characterized Darger as eccentric deranged and even dangerous as an outsider artist compelled to create a fantasy universe. Contesting such pathologizing interpretations Michael Moon looks to Darger's resources to the narratives and materials that inspired him and often found their way into his writing drawings and paintings. Moon finds an artist who reveled in the burgeoning popular culture of the early twentieth century in its newspaper comic strips pulp fiction illustrated children's books and mass-produced religious art. Moon contends that Darger's work deserves and rewards comparison with that of contemporaries of his such as the "pulp historians" H. P. Lovecraft and Robert Howard the Oz chronicler L. Frank Baum and the newspaper cartoonist Bud Fisher. . 2012. 0822351420 . Duke University Press Books hardcover

Description: "The most highly publicized building renewal process in the world today-and the most significant survey of competing architecture designs since the international design competition for the Chicago Tribune Tower in 1922-is for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. It has inspired a multitude of designs and has engaged architects on a global scale in the re-imagining of the vacant 16-acre site. Published in conjunction with Architectural Record the most important architecture journal in the United States 'Imagining Ground Zero' documents not only the various competitions sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation but also the informal proposals sponsored by the New York Times New York Magazine and the exhibition at Max Protetch Gallery as well as a selection from thousands of schemes submitted independently for the World Trade Center site and Memorial. Among the key figures in contemporary architecture whose work is featured here are Coop Himmelblau Peter Eisenman Norman Foster Charles Gwathmey Zaha Hadid Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates Steven Holl Rem Koolhaas Greg Lynn Richard Meier Eric Owen Moss David Rockwell Lindy Roy Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos Rafael Viñoly and many others. With its exhaustive approach to these myriad voices in the discourse surrounding the World Trade Center site 'Imagining Ground Zero' is destined to become the canonical reference for this unprecedented event in world architecture." -- with a bonus offer--; Architectural Record Book . 2004. 0847826570 .

"Ce pays inconnu des terriens est la Lune et l’inversion du point de vue « au clair de terre » permet de réduire certaines certitudes à l’état de préjugés ou réciproquement de fournir une justification de plusieurs préjugés. Un chapitre est consacré aux « causes de tant de lois bizarres, de coutumes singulières, d’usages extravagants ou barbares ». C’est un véritable cabinet de curiosités anthropologiques que le lecteur est invité à visiter. Il découvre des peuples qui pratiquent les sacrifices humains, des enfants qui dévorent leurs parents, des veuves qui se font brûler avec leur époux, des hommes qui mettent les femmes en commun, des femmes qui se prostituent au temple de Vénus... Les cas de superstitions qui seront discutés par Rétif et Nodier sont ici replacés dans une perspective anthropologique plus large qui relativise les us et coutumes à travers le monde et du même coup la frontière entre préjugé et raison. (in, Réhabilitation des préjugés et crise des Lumières, Michel Delon, p. 143-156. Revue Germanique internationale, 1995, La crise des Lumières.) "Edition originale de cette utopie lunaire. L'auteur, musicographe et auteur d'un opéra comique, fait l'éloge, dans son "Epître à moi-même" en début du vol. 1, de l'amour-propre comme facteur de perfectionnement moral." (Querard II, 791). Cet ouvrage a parfois été attribué à Thiphaigne de la Roche. Jost de Villeneuve est peu connu. On sait qu'il fut directeur des finances de la Toscane (notice Bnf), et auteur dramatique On lui doit notammen Zéphir et Fleurette, opéra-comique, ballet par Messieurs de Villeneuve et L. [Laujon.] (1750). Le Voyageur philosophe est son principal ouvrage. "Cette odyssée philosophique est un songe au bout duquel le voyageur se retrouve au bas de son lit. Le pays du rêve, celui des Sélénites (habitants de la lune), permet la comparaison de l'état social et de l'état naturel : dans l'absence du mien et du tien, il n'y a pas de vice, pas de crime, pas de crainte de la mort. A Sélénopolis, les sciences ont fait de grands progrès. C'est le siècle des Lumières parfaitement réalisé." (A. Soboul, Utopies au siècle des Lumières, Hachette, n°034/5). Référence : Versin, Encyclopédie de l'Utopie, p. 540.) Exemplaire imprimé sur grand papier (papier fort de Hollande à grandes marges). Ce tirage est dénommé "papier royal" dans le catalogue des livres qui se trouvent chez le libraire Neaulme en 1762. Bon exemplaire, en grand papier conservé non rogné, de ce chef d'œuvre utopique du XVIIIe siècle.
