The Consolations of Philosophy / de Button, Alain., 2000

Item

Identifier: CC-34627-36328

Scope and Contents This is the first edition, first printing of the book. Kirkus Associates provided the following review. "Having changed lives with the help of a French writer (How Proust Can Change Your Life, 1997), de Botton now seeks to offer those lives needed consolation and specific advice with the writings of some of the world's most illustrious philosophers. If too many nowadays find thinkers Nietzsche and Schopenhauer stifling and irrelevant, they need only turn to this witty, engaging book to see how wrong they are. These men de Botton also calls on, Socrates, Epicurus, Seneca, and Montaigne, were in their own sometimes abstruse ways actually giving some down-to-earth, practical advice about how to cope with life's miseries and frustrations. De Botton is an able and companionable guide as he demonstrates, for example, how Socrates proves there are things far more consoling than popularity. He turns to Epicurus for advice on how to cope with not having enough money. Montaigne, clearly de...

The Dante Binding / Phillips, Tom; Erskine-Tulloch P., 1982

Item

Identifier: CC-04813-4904

Scope and Contents This painting depicts a portrait of Pella Erskine-Tulloch in Phillips' studio holding a handbound edition of Phillips' "Dante's Inferno." Tom Phillips describes this painting in "The Portrait Works" as follows: "The title of the picture 'The Dante Binding' refers to the book on which the sitter rests her arms. It was the last thing in the picture to be painted since it did not exist until the final three or four sittings. During the months this portrait took to paint, Pella Erskine-Tulloch and I were involved in designing the three volume binding for the Talfourd Press edition of Dante's Inferno. This sample blank volume was the final prototype. It was a triumphant moment in which the silkscreen cloth and spine-titling I had designed came together in her superbly structured binding: the mere presence of the book (replacing substitute books in earlier sittings) was enough to resolve the picture and propel it towards completion. Dante appears elsewhere in the portrait in the...
