Hermann Hesse,
Siddhartha + 雲門舞集《流浪者之歌》23頁場刊
Bantam; 152 pages; good condition; now sold for HK$50.
{This] is a shimmering, iridescent tale of spiritual quest.  It is Nobel Prize-winner Hermann Hesses's most famous and influent work.  In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh.  He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again.  Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound.  This sound signals the true beginning of his life - the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace and, finally, wisdom.

「美學」作為一門獨立科學的名稱，雖然只有兩百多年的歷史，但是，可供追溯的美學史卻久遠得多。其實，自從人類社會開始有了藝術活動以來，有關美學的許多問題，就一直是人們所關心和探討的對象。
隨着社會的發展，如今，美學已是哲學中一個重要的部門，而對美學史的研究又是美學研究中一個重要的組成部分。研究美學不能夠不研究美學史。然而，有關美學史的中文書籍一直以來都很缺乏。
畢生從事美學研究的朱光潛先生，於六十年代初期寫了中文書的第一本「西方美學史﹞，並於一九六四年......出版。

*** ART ***

Nikolaus Pevsner,
The Englishness of English Art
Peregrine; 229 pages; 80-85% new; now sold for HK$48.
No one is better qualified than [the author] to undertake this discussion of national characteristics of English at....To draw the contours of this 'geography of art' it is necessary...to look at matters in terms of 'poloarities'...Two such polarities are the decorated and the perpendicular styles in architecture--the one all undulating curves and playful spatial rhythms, the other relying entirely on the straight line for its effect of uninterrupted spatial clarity.   And yet, in that both are anti-corporeal, denying volume any part in the performance, both are unmistakably English. This well-illustrated survey of English visual and functional art was described, in its original form, by the Journal of Education as being 'far and away the best of the Reith Lectures so far'.


framed (May 2011 issue)
88 pages; as good as brand-new; now sold for HK$33.
Featuring the art of the King of Kowloon and celebrating ART HK 11. 


gallery guide: Hong Kong Special 2/2 (issue 18, April 2011)
96 pages; as good as brand-new; now sold for HK$28.
Second edition dedicated to the art of Hong Kong, published with the support of InvestHK and some art galleries.


Valery M. Garrett,
A Guide to Buying Antiques, Arts & Crafts in Hong Kong
Times; 155 pages; 95% new; now sold for HK$45.
This guide provides a wealth of information, including: an alphabetical listing of the different types of antiques, arts and crafts available; a guide to the symbols used on Chinese antiques; a full directory of more than 100 sources--shops, warehouses, auction houses and museums; six detailed walking and driving tours of Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories; tips on bargaining, shipping, and avoiding fakes; more than 100 illustrations, maps and colour photographs.

Oskar Kokoschka
Prestel Postcard Book; 85-90% new; now sold for HK$35.
An introduction of the artist plus 18 of his colourful paintings in postcard size.


Werner Gillon,
A Short History of African Art
Penguin; 405 pages; as good as brand-new; now sold for HK$110.
[The author] examines the major influences in African culture and art over the centuries: the civilizations of Egypt and the Mediterranean coast, the spread of Islam, the Bantu migrations, the evolution of the tribal system, the arrival of the Europeans and Christianity and the development of trade within Africa and beyond.   He then examines the earliest known art forms, the astonishing prehistoric rock art found in a number of regions and the sophisticated artifacts of the ancient Nubian, Aksumite and Nok cultures, and goes on to consider the development of the visual arts in a number of individual regions ranging from the Sahara to the Cape, from Ethiopia and the Swahili coast in the east to the Niger Delta and Benin in the west.
Antiques Dealer - 'Superb...Not until this book has there ever been published a comprehensive, authoritative explanation of the full range of African visual art styles and media.'


A. Einstein,
A Short History of Music
Vintage; 205 pages; 85-90% new; now sold for HK$45.
Out of a lifetime of firsthand experience with all phases of music, [the author] distilled the vital essences of its story....Agree with him in detail or not, he created a living book of wonderful, swift simplicity about a living and a far from simple subject....he made each word carry its own weight, reduced every statement and definition to its clearest and most easily absorbed form.   Few books so happily and exactly live up to their titles.

Sheldon Cheney,
The Story of Modern Art
Viking hardcover (without jacket); 723 pages; 60% new; now sold for HK$55.


Miklos Haraszti,
The Velvet Prison: Artists under State Socialism
Penguin; 162 pages; as good as brand-new; now sold for HK$55.
Guardian - 'A fascinating account of totalitarian aesthetics...'
The New York Times Book Review - 'Apart from the political and topical interest of his commentary, [the author] raises questions of great theoretical interest.   He makes us aware of the more or less unconscious assumptions that underlie the values and practices of Western art.'


William Gaunt,
Victorian Olympus
Cardinal; 176 pages; 90-95% new; now sold for HK$45.
...the third volume in [the author's] loosely connected trilogy.   First published in the 40s and 50s, these curious and humorous biographical studies have become minor classics.   The subject of each volume is a different group of Victorian   artists, each group looking to and living up to a different ideal.   In this volume it is the heroic ideal of Ancient Rome, Greece and the East which tempers the lives and art of a particular group of artists.  


Walker & Chaplin,
Visual Culture: An Introduction
Manchester; 231 pages; as good as brand-new; now sold for HK$75.
This book is about the expanding realm of visual culture, which includes, amongst other things, the fields of architecture, art, design, advertising, photography, film, television, video, theatre performance, computer imagery and virtual reality.   It is also about Visual Culture Studies, a relatively new academic discipline, or rather range of disciplines, that scholars employ to analyse visual artefacts.
Unlike many other texts on the same subject, [this book] foregrounds the 'visual' and is systematic and accessible.   [It] provides an overview of the subject that pays heed to the achievements of both traditional and new theory and, via references, the reader is directed towards a large body of literature.
...Intended as an introductory guide, this book is designed for undergraduates studying the history and theory of fine arts, design and the mass media.

Christopher Benfey,
The Double Life of Stephen Crane: A Biography
Vintage; 294 pages; as good as brand-new; now sold for HK$48.


Irving Stone,
Lust for Life
Plume; 489 pages; 70-75% new; now sold for HK$55.
Since its initial publication in 1934, [this book] has been a critical success, a multimillion-copy bestseller, and the basis for an Academy Award-winning movie.  The most famous of all of [the author]’s novels, it is the story of Vincent Van Gogh – brilliant painter, passionate lover, and alleged madman.  Here is his tempestuous story: his dramatic life, his fevered loves for both the highest-born women and the lowest of prostitutes, and his paintings – for which he was damned before being proclaimed a genius.  The novel takes us from his desperate days in a northern coal mine to his dazzling years in the south of France, where he knew the most brilliant artists (and the most depraved whores).  Finally, it shows us Van Gogh driven mad, tragic and triumphant at once.  No other novel of a great man’s life has so fascinated the American public for generations.


Peter Singer,
Marx
Oxford; 82 pages; 65-70% new; now sold for HK$38.
There is no shortage of books on Marx, but a good brief introduction to his thought is still needed.  [The author]’s book fills the gap….[He] views Marx as a philosopher centrally concerned with human freedom, rather than as an economist or social scientist.  He explains Marx’s early writings on alienation, his development of the materialist conception of history, the economic theory of Capital, and Marx’s idea of communism.  He concludes with an assessment of Marx’s thought and tries to pinpoint where Marx went wrong, and what is still relevant and important in his ideas.  He writes in clear, straightforward English and assumes no previous knowledge of Marx, or of economics or philosophy.
