paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Camus concludes 'The struggle itself (.) is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy'. Although neither an absurdist nor an atheist, Mark Shields shares Camus' belief that it is the struggle that counts. It is through the effort to wrestle meaning from life that art is made. Shields has continually pushed himself to embrace new challenges and to avoid formula. His dread of slipping into habit has led him to adopt an experimental approach to subject matter and materials. The Inaccessible Land consists of work created over the last four years and presents a number of distinct series that explore the tensi.
