Opis

Excerpt from Celestina: Or the Tragi-Comedy of Calisto and Melibea According to Aristotle the function of art is to make good the shortcomings of nature art must take its material from the purposeless world of fact about us, and from it build up within us a new world, the world of imagination, which may embody in itself what Nature is aiming at, but fails to reach. This maxim brings us face to face at once with the dualism of the world in which we live, on the one side concrete facts which we call reality, on the other side thought and imagina tion. Art implies a fusion of these two opposing elements; the artist moulding the material facts of life according to the dictates of imagination, so that they may receive a form and meaning, which in themselves they do not possess. But for one artist who succeeds in this task, a hundred fail; some, since they are unable to do more than copy the world about them, try to find a place for purposeless photographs of existence in the ordered structure of art, while others ignoring the world of facts get lost in the clouds of fancy and people the world of imagination with unsubstantial abstractions. This conżict of realism and idealism1 is the key to the development of the novel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
