Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain (USED)

$12.00
More Info
The famed and feared occultist Aleister Crowley was never in one place long. His travels took him across the globe, sometimes as a seeker, at other times staying just ahead of creditors, rivals and cast-off lovers.
In this large-format illustrated map and guide, author Gary Lachman documents key locations in the homeland to which Aleister Crowley always returned, from his birth in Royal Leamington Spa in 1875 to his death in Hastings in 1947.
The 40-plus entries include Carlisle, where a teenage Crowley slept with a hotel chambermaid and threw his tutor out of a boat; Boleskine, his house on Loch Ness, later owned by Jimmy Page; and numerous London addresses, including residences, pubs, occult shops and even the Café Royal, where he pretended to be invisible and ran out on the bill.
Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain offers insight into the life of an intriguing, complex and profoundly flawed character, whose influence reverberates long after his death.

In 1979 Hitchcock was the recipient of the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. Before presenting the award to him, Oscar winner Ingrid Bergman, who starred in three Hitchcock films-Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946), and Under Capricorn (1949)-called him "an admirable genius."

From "Hitchcock and the Ladies"

Atlas told her that "[I'm going to] teach you boxing . . . so that you can learn how to go into dark places and not get broken down. If you can learn that bit of the discipline that fighters learn, you can take that onto the stage with you."

From "Teddy's Adventures in Trainer Land"

The trade that sent Rogers to the Rangers foreshadowed many of the idiotic trades and front office and coaching changes the Whalers made during their NHL existence.

In Art Can Help, the internationally acclaimed American photographer Robert Adams offers over two dozen meditations on the purpose of art and the responsibility of the artist. In particular, Adams advocates art that evokes beauty without irony or sentimentality, art that "encourages us to gratitude and engagement, and is of both personal and civic consequence." Following an introduction, the book begins with two short essays on the works of the American painter Edward Hopper, an artist venerated by Adams. The rest of this compilation contains texts--more than half of which have never before been published--that contemplate one or two works by an individual artist. The pictures discussed are by noted photographers such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Emmet Gowin, Dorothea Lange, Abelardo Morell, Edward Ranney, Judith Joy Ross, John Szarkowski, and Garry Winogrand. Several essays summon the words of literary figures, including Virginia Woolf and Czeslaw Milosz. Adams's voice is at once intimate and accessible, and is imbued with the accumulated wisdom of a long career devoted to making and viewing art. This eloquent and moving book champions art that fights against disillusionment and despair.
