The Fairy Fellerâ (Tm)S Master-Stroke
ISBN: 9781443841238 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Richard Dadd is a trickster, a pre-post-modern enigma wrapped in a Shakespearean Midsummer Night's Dream; an Elizabethan Puck living in a smothering Victorian insane asylum, foreshadowing and, in brilliant, Mad Hatter conundrums, entering the fragmented shards of today's nightmarish oxymorons long before the artists currently trying to give them the joker's ephemeral maps of discourse. The author thinks of Bob Dylan's Ballad of a Thin Man, that cryptic refusal to reduce the warped mirrors of reality to prosaic lies, or, perhaps All Along the Watchtower or Mr Tambourine Man. Even more than...

Insanity and Genius: Masks of Madness and the Mapping of Meaning and Value
ISBN: 9781443858854 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 770 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In his book about the discovery of the structure of DNA, James Watson wrote, "So we had lunch, telling ourselves that a structure this beautiful just had to exist." Indeed, the quest most often asked by scientists about a scientific theory is "Is it beautiful?" Yes, beauty equals truth. Scientists know, mathematicians know. But the beauties, the truths of mathematics and science were not the truths that inspired the author as a child, and he intuitively knew that the truths he needed come from a different way of knowing, a way of knowing not of the world of logic and reason and explanation...

ISBN: 9781847186119 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 625 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Pablo Picasso said “We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth, at least the truth that is given us to understand.” John Keats expressed the same in the climactic couplet of his poem, Ode on a Grecian Urn, when he wrote, “Beauty is truth, truth beauty,--that is all / Ye know on earth and all ye need to know.” On September 8, 1888, Vincent Van Gogh, referring to his painting The Night Cafe, wrote in a letter to his brother Theo: “I have tried to express the terrible passions of humanity by means of red and green.” This is what I have struggled...

Divine Madness
ISBN: 9781443832984 / Twarda / 2011 / 525 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Lila is Sanskrit for play, the play of the gods. It is the self-generating genesis of Bliss, created by Bliss for the purpose of Bliss. It is the uninhibited, impulsive sport of Brahman, the free spirit of creation that results in the spontaneous unfolding of the cosmos to be found in the eternity of each moment. It is beyond the confining locks and chains of reason, beyond the steel barred windows looking out from the cages of explanation, beyond the droning tick-tick-tick of the huge mechanical clocks of time.
Come, let us enter the realm of the madman and the finely wrought threads of... Lila is Sanskrit for play, the play of the gods. It is the self-generating genesis of Bliss, created by Bliss for the purpose of Bliss. It is the unin...

It was Sunday, July 27, 1890. Vincent had recently finished Wheatfield with Crows, thought to be his final painting, one that he described as representing “vast fields of wheat beneath troubled skies,” one where he said in a letter he meant to send to Theo “I did not need to go out of my way to try to express cheerlessness and extreme loneliness.” The letter never got sent, but was found stuffed in his smock. That morning, as usual, he walked out into the wheat fields with his easel, brushes, tubes of color and folding... No one heard the shot. No one ever found the gun.

ISBN: 9781527581661 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Do I dare disturb the universe? This is a question recognized by people around the world. If typed into the internet, hundreds of examples appear. Many know that it comes from one of the best-known poems of the previous century, T. S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.

While his poetry is famous because it expresses the loss of a spiritual center in European civilization, a careful reading of it...
