Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. 176 p.; 21.5 cm. Author's photograph on rear panel of dj -- her first book. From chapter 12, Man's psychological jungle: `If a man wishes to be a human being rather than an unconscious creature, blind and lont in the jungle, he will gain mastery over the animals within rather than be used by them.It is folly to ration…alize that no matter how low we fall, God stands apart from us. On the contrary, every time we fall we let God fall within us. He is dependent upon us as we are dependent upon Him. We support Him by our love and by the enlightenment of our spirit, which are His attributes and which He gave us in their potential form. In time of war the forces of evil, inimical to the concept of God,take possession of man.Brutality sweeps over multitudes. The inhumanity of man is magnetized and becomes contagious. It is a release of power,latent in man. When man accidentally sets into motion these powers,which he is unable to control,they submerge him.But if his con sciousness still exists,he will not let the deity fall within him. Recogniz ing his powers,he will control them. Let us consider fear.It is an enormous force although it may last only for a moment. It may be rampant or dormant; it is ever-present in man and animal. Fear stirs currents of distrust and suspicion, releasing forces which permeate the atmosphere. If this power is released.it produces panic and wars. The possibility of war between human beings is ever-present. But by the sublimating processes,fear may be turned into the power of protection and love. The man who has arrived at this realization will not dissipate fear in the negative processes of distrust and suspicion but will use it rather in the ways of love and faith.' (76f.) VG orig. black cloth. Dj creased on lower edge, tears on folds.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE Olgivanna Lloyd Wright was the formidable matriarch of the Taliesin Fellowship, often considered the power behind the throne in Frank Lloyd Wright's later years. While she published several books on philosophy and life at Taliesin, her command of written English often required heavy polishing. Her partnership with Ben Raeburn was crucial; Horizon Press essentially served as the 'house publisher' for the Wrights, disseminating their architectural and philosophical manifestos to the mid-century public. This archive is significant because it lifts the veil on the editorial process behind the 'Wright Legend'. The 1954 letter documents a rare moment of surrender from the usually imperious Olgivanna, granting Raeburn 'free hand' to edit her work-proof of his integral role in shaping her public voice. The inclusion of references to Pat Percy (an apprentice who bridged the literary and architectural worlds) and intimate invitations to the Raeburns to summer at Taliesin illustrates how business and personal life were inextricably linked within the Fellowship. SUBJECTS: Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, Frank Lloyd Wright, Taliesin Fellowship, Ben Raeburn, Horizon Press, Publishing History, Architectural History, American Philosophy, Mid-Century Modern Design.
