Description
| Written by Roger *Caillois / Translated by Satoru Sugaya A new translation of a well-known book that has been difficult to obtain for a long time Landscape stone, agate, septaria (tortoiseshell stone), and other stones with unique patterns. How have these stones influenced people's imagination? Is there a point where the cross-sectional patterns of stones and abstract works of art intersect? This is an unprecedented essay by Caillois, who has discussed themes such as the sacred, play, mythology, poetics, and dreams, and who argues, based on his own collection of stones, that "the beauty of stones indicates the existence of universal beauty. This is a new translation of a famous book that was published by Shinchosha in 1975, but has long been difficult to find in Japanese. *Table of Contents Image in the Stone Ravager Stone Stone of Dreams Septalia Jasper and Agate Stone Calligraphy - Structure of the World Tuscan Limestone Entry of Life-Another Scrivener Notes illustrations original notes Translator's note Supplement to the illustrations in this book (Eishun Yamada) Translator's Afterword |
