English artist John Constable once observed: I never saw an ugly thing in my life. Let the form of an object be what it may-light shade and perspective will always make it beautiful. Wide ranging meditations in this book on the human presence in the universe are an attempt at discovering such a light and a perspective. (jacket). Nº de ref. del artículo: 112233
