Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature of Gothic: A Chapter of the Stones of Venice Of uhuman race will never cease striving to solve the problem of the reason for its own existence;yet it seems to me that it ma do this in a calmer and more satisfactory moo when it has not to askthe question, Wh were we born to be so miserable? But rather, w y were we born to be so happy? (i At least it maybe said that there is time enough for us to deal with this problem, and that it need not engross the best energies of mankind, when there is so much to do otherwhere. But for this aim of at last gaining ha piness through our daily and necessary labour, t e time is short enough, the need so urgent, that we may well wonder that those who groan under the burl den of unhappiness can think of anything else; and we may well admire and love the man who here called the attention of English/speaking people to this momentous subject, and that With such directness and clearness of insight, that his words could not be disregarded. (ii know indeed that Ruskin is not the first man who has put for, ward the possibility and the urgent necessity that men should take pleasure in Labour; for Robert Owen showed how by companionship and good will labour mightbe made at least endurable; 8c in France Charles Fourier dealt with the subject at reat length; 86 the whole of his elaborate system for the reconstruction of society is founded on the certain hope of aining pleasure in labour. But in their times neit er Owen nor Fourier could poszsibly have found the key to the problem with which Ruskin was provided. Fourier depends, not on art for the motive power of the realization of pleasure in labour, but on incitements, which, though they would not be lacking in any decent state of society, are rather incidental than essential parts of pleasurable work; and on reasonable ar/ rangements, which would certainly lighten the burden of labour, but would not procure for it the element of sensuous pleasure, which is the essence of all true art. Nevertheless, it must be said that Fourier and Ruskin were touched by the same instinct, and it is instructive and hopeful to note how they arrived at the same point by such very different roads.

Book excerpt: When it first appeared in 1971, Larry Clark's groundbreaking book Tulsa sparked immediate controversy across the nation. Its graphic depictions of sex, violence, and drug abuse in the youth culture of Oklahoma were acclaimed by critics for stripping bare the myth that Middle America had been immune to the social convulsions that rocked America in the 1960s. The raw, haunting images taken in 1963, 1968, and 1971 document a youth culture progressively overwhelmed by self-destruction -- and are as moving and disturbing today as when they first appeared. Originally published in a limited paperback version and republished in 1983 as a limited hardcover edition commissioned by the author, rare-book dealers sell copies of this book for more than a thousand dollars. Now in both hardcover and paperback editions from Grove Press, this seminal work of photographic art and social history is once again available to the general public.

Book excerpt: Saint Ursula by John Ruskin is about a beautiful young princess and the daughter of King Maurus. Young Ursula must marry a heathen King or risk the fate of the English people. Excerpt: "There was once a just and most Christian King of Britain, called Maurus. To him and his wife Daria was born a little girl, the fairest creature that this earth ever saw. She came into the world wrapped in a hairy mantle, and all men wondered greatly what this might mean. Then the King gathered together his wise men to inquire of them. But they could not make known the thing to him, for only God in Heaven knew how the rough robe signified that she should follow holiness and purity all her days, and the wisdom of St. John the Baptist. And because of the mantle, they called her Ursula, 'Little Bear.'"
