To staid old Charleston she was a prim civic leader. To her husband she was an imperious and frigid companion. This was the first Amy - my aunt. Then, one day, in the stately drawing room of the sadistic Miss Wescott, I watched as my aunt tremulously stripped on command. She emerged a voluptuous nude animal exulting in any sexual act, her appetite whetted by any perversion. Shuddering with anticipation, screaming in pain and joy, she was insatiable. This was the second Amy - my lover.. First Edition 20th Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: The Act of Creation is a brilliant and important analysis by a famous author of the artistic and scientific faculties of man, including humour. In this major study Arthur Koestler advances the theory that all creative activities - the conscious and unconscious processes underlying artistic originality, scientific discovery, and comic inspiration - have a basic pattern in common, which he attempts to define. He calls it "bisociative" thinking - a word he coined to distinguish the various routines of associative thinking from the creative leap which connects… Read More

EXCERPT: This book started as an exploration of "scores" and the interrelationships between scoring in the various fields of art. Scores are symbolizations of processes which extend over time. The most familiar kind of "score" is a musical one, but I have extended this meaning to include "scores" in all fields of human endeavour. Even a grocery list or a calendar, for example, are scores. I have been interested in the idea of scoring not any one particular system of scoring, but scoring generally - for many years. This interest grew, quite clearly, from two different sources: first, because I am professionally an environmental designer and planner involved in the broad landscape where human beings and nature interface;… Read More

Collins fontana books, 1973. Moderate Creasing on Front Cover, Spine; Light Creasing on Rear Cover; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age. "You could see the Crystal Palace if it wasn't for the houses in between" - Old Music Hall Song. EXCERPT: "What is all this about a book?" I asked. "It's not finished yet," she said, "because I'm not dead yet . . . I want you to put it in order" . . . Remarkably little needed to be done with it. Here and there I have left things out; here and there a phrase has been sharpened. But this is Sarah's book, not mine: Sarah Undridge, who grew up as Sarah Rainborough . . . REVIEWS: "Wonderfully skilful in conveying the atmosphere of life in a prosperous middle-class Victorian Family through a child's freshness and sense of wonder. The Houses in Between is emphatically a book to be read." - Manchester Evening News.… Read More
