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

This is a really noteworthy story--a profoundly touching story--of the Americanizing of a young girl, who between babyhood and young womanhood leaps over a space which in all cultural and humanizing essentials is far more important than the distance painfully traversed by her fore-fathers during the preceding thousand years. When we tend to grow disheartened over some of the developments of our American civilization, it is well worth while seeing what this same civilization holds for starved and eager souls who have elsewhere been denied what here we hold to be, as a matter of course,… Read More
