Kropotkin based this classic on his observations of natural phenomena and history, forming a work of stunning and well-reasoned scholarship. Essential to the understanding of human evolution as well as social organization, it offers a powerful counterpoint to the tenets of Social Darwinism. It also cites persuasive evidence of human nature's innate compatibility with anarchist society.\u003cbr\u003e\"Kropotkin's basic argument is correct,\" noted evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould. \"Struggle does occur in many modes, and some lead to cooperation among members of a species as the best pathway to advantage for individuals.\" Anthropologist Ashley Montagu declared that \"\u003ci\u003eMutual Aid\u003c\/i\u003e will never be any more out of date than will the Declaration of Independence. New facts may increasingly become available, but we can already see that they will serve largely to support Kropotkin's conclusion that 'in the ethical progress of man, mutual support—not mutual struggle—has had the leading part.'\" Physician and author Alex Comfort asserted that \"Kropotkin profoundly influenced human biology by his theory of \u003ci\u003eMutual Aid\u003c\/i\u003e. . . .

I have seldom coveted anything as I coveted that book.\" — C.S. Lewis\u003cbr\u003eBefore portraying Wagner's \"Ring,\" Arthur Rackham (1867–1939) had become England's leading illustrator through his interpretations of fairy and fantastic books: \u003ci\u003eGrimm's Fairy Tales\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRip van Winkle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeter Pan in Kensington Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Midsummer-Night's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e. With his insight into elves, twisted oaks, and bearded heroes, Wagner was the logical step: with the \"Ring,\" Rackham brought his talent for ethereal watercolor and line into new realms of adult mythology.\u003cbr\u003eThis edition reproduces, in full color, all 64 watercolor illustrations from \u003ci\u003eSiegfried \u0026amp; The Twilight of the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e (1911) and \u003ci\u003eThe Rhinegold \u0026amp; The Valkyrie\u003c\/i\u003e (1912). The original English and American editions also contained black-and-white vignettes and tailpieces, a selection of which appear here: the original text, a dated English translation of the libretto, has been replaced by comprehensive descriptive captions and an introduction by James Spero.\u003cbr\u003eRackham poured all his mature fancy into the \"Ring.\" The gnarled Nibelung Alberich sports with teasing Rhinemaidens, fiery Loge and lordly Wotan tussle with giants and serpents. An ecstatic Brünnhilde is finally consumed on Siegfried's funeral pyre in perhaps the most successful representation of this scene anywhere, either graphically or theatrically. Wagner's Teutonic forests and caves give Rackham free reign for his brooding, haunting nature backgrounds; characters, costumes, and all the tiny details are painted with such textual accuracy and empathy that today's opera companies who wish to return to staging the \"Ring\" in the traditional manner turn to Rackham's paintings for guidance.\u003cbr\u003eThe painstaking reproduction of these artworks brings Arthur Rackham's most heroic visions to the many collectors and admirers who cannot obtain the expensive out-of-print editions. With the aid of the clear captions, the Wagnerian cycle may be followed once again in its most time-honored and rich interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDover Original.\u003c\/div\u003e ring; fantasy; art; classical; music; opera; posters; drama; nature; gods; heroes; art books; folklore; epic; battle; sword; curse; romantic; saga; watercolors; German; Nordic; Norse; mythology; fairy tales; Tolkien; Lewis; Peter Pan; Poe; lord of the rings; prose; poetic edda; English; british; book illustrations; drawings ","brand":"Arthur Rackham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159426744641,"sku":"9780486237794","price":6.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/3262\/5985\/products\/9780486237794.jpg?v=1710206361"},{"product_id":"9780486257389","title":"Compendium Maleficarum","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003eThis extraordinary document, considered one of the most important manuals ever compiled on witchcraft, offers striking insight into the early seventeenth-century mind and society's attempts to cope with the evils it saw manifested in sorcery.\u003cbr\u003eA collection of writings by the Ambrosian monk Francesco Maria Guazzo, the \u003ci\u003eCompendium\u003c\/i\u003e comprehensively and penetratingly describes the entire practice and profession of witchcraft.
