Seller: Lighthouse Books, ABAA, Dade City, FL, U.S.A.
Condition: UNSPECIFIED. Octavo, black boards (hardcover), silver letters, 752 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: The world changed faster during the twentieth century than ever before. Science and technology set the pace, promoting men to the air like gods. There were revolutions on the streets, but also in the head: uprisings of the Marxist proletariat and of the Freudian id. The new physics of Einstein and his colleagues changed our understanding of nature by showing that matter is made up of empty space, and modern architects constructed buildings to match those new structural principles. Painters such as Picasso and Dali denied they were distorting the human form: they were simply acknowledging the ways in which modern men and women were different, both physiologically and psychologically. Little wonder that, even before our unprecedented century has concluded, its culture has been studied, dissected, analyzed, questioned, rejected, and embraced. We are exhilarated by our own story. Yet the twentieth century's proud rejection of the Western humanist past and its newly specialized intellectual style has left our understanding of it in fragments. But rescue is at hand, for in Modern Times, Modern Places, the noted critic Peter Conrad -- ranging brilliantly among literature, the visual arts, music and the performing arts, science, and psychoanalysis -- connects these disparate areas and sees the modern era as a whole. Taking his cue from the declaration of the Italian futurists that time and space had been abruptly killed off by Einstein's time-space continuum, Conrad investigates the notion and the nature of modern times: the justified conviction that we have lived through a unique testing period in the experience of mankind. He also describes the places that have been frontiers of modernity -- cities like Vienna, Moscow, Paris, and Berlin; new worlds in the Americas; a preview of a possible future in Tokyo. Did it all happen too fast and go too far? Modernity was like a roller-coaster ride, during which the human race jested with disaster and delighted in the havoc created by the play of g-forces. Yet we can take pride in our century's intellectual achievements even as we regret its crimes. Despite the dangers we confront, with the uniquely clear perspective Peter Conrad provides on a phase of history that has nearly passed, we are much better prepared to confront the new millennium. Philosophy, Sociology, Modernist, Modernity. bslic.
