Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

At the end of a century whose catastrophic violence has irreparably damaged the human capacity for hope, our knowledge of the origins of life has so deepened that we can create life artificially. In this book the author seeks to articulate our experience of the present condition. He asks: What is it that sustains our modern confidence in being alive? Subjects discussed range from modern cosmology to Philip Larkin. He concludes by asking: "Can there, will there be major philosophy. literature, music and art of an atheist provenance?"

Descrizione del libro

Grammars of Creation by George Steiner brings the unparalleled acumen and erudition of the eminent critic to bear on many neglected questions - are great works of art, literature and music 'creations' or 'inventions'? Does the mathematician 'invent' or 'discover? - with a prose which is 'unfailingly apt, luminous and evocative.' (Guardian)

Descrizione libreria

Formerly known as Journobooks, our original speciality was books about journalism, journalists, newspapers, magazines and other media (hence the old name) and we still have a great stock of hard-to-find books in that field. Over time we have added a wide variety of other collectible gems some of which we sell on behalf of the charity Friends of Morston Church (reg.1099831). Our goal is to offer the best value for money on Abebooks, ie. the lowest price for the condition of the book. We love buying and selling books, so will try to make your buying experience as easy and pleasant as possible.
