Days of Reading
Author: Marcel Proust
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141963395
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
In these inspiring essays about why we read, Proust explores all the pleasures and trials that we take from books, as well as explaining the beauty of Ruskin and his work, and the joys of losing yourself in literature as a child. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves – and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives – and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

Sesame and Lilies, And, the Political Economy of Art (Classic Reprint)
Author: John Ruskin
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780365805878
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Excerpt from Sesame and Lilies, And, the Political Economy of Art I suppose the first - at least that which is confessed with the greatest frankness, and put forward as the fittest stimulus to youthful exertion -is this of Advancement in Life. My main purpose this evening is to determine, with you, what this idea practically includes, and what it should include. Practically, then, at present, advancement in life means becoming conspicuous in life; obtain ing a position which shall be acknowledged by others to be respectable or honourable. We do not understand by this advancement. In general, the mere making of money, but the being known to have made it; not the accomplishment of any great aim, but the being seen to have accom plished it. In'a word, we mean the gratification of our thirst for applause. That thirst, ifthe last infirmity of noble minds, is also the first infirmity of weak ones; and, on the whole, the strongest impulsive influence of average humanity. The greatest efforts of the race have always been traceable to the love of praise, as its greatest catastrophes to the love of pleasure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
