Trickster disrupted the world around him, and in doing so he reshaped it. Playful, mischievous, subversive, amoral, tricksters are a great bother to have around, but they are also indispensable heroes of culture. Trickster Makes This World revisits the stories of Coyote, Eshu and Hermes and holds them up against the life and work of more recent creators: Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, John Cage, Allen Ginsberg, Maxine Hong Kingston and others. Authoritative in its scholarship, supple and dynamic in its style, Trickster Makes This World encourages you to think and see afresh.
Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. Over the course of six years, Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, suffering and the nature of advice itself; these profound and lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for writers and artists of all kinds. This volume also contains the 'Letter from a Young Worker', a striking polemic against Christianity written too in letter form.
The Gift brilliantly argues for the importance of creativity in our increasingly money-driven society. Reaching deep into literature, anthropology and psychology Lewis Hyde's modern masterpiece has at its heart the simple and important idea that a 'gift' can inspire and change our lives.
Rilke's powerfully touching letters to an aspiring young poet, now
available in a beautiful hardcover Penguin edition At the start of
the twentieth century, Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a series of letters
to a young officer cadet, advising him on writing, love, sex,
suffering, and the nature of advice itself. These profound and
lyrical letters have since become hugely influential for
generations of writers and artists of all kinds, including Lady
Gaga and Patti Smith. With honesty, elegance, and a deep
understanding of the loneliness that often comes with being an
artist, Rilke's letters are an endless source of inspiration and
comfort. Lewis Hyde's new introduction explores the context in
which these letters were written and how the author embraced his
isolation as a creative force. This edition also includes Rilke's
later work "The Letter from the Young Worker."
