1.The Meaning of LifeThe Meaning of Life
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.90

Customer Review:
The "Meaning of Life" is one of those age-old questions that people of all walks of life have been pondering for at least as long as we know that people have been pondering anything. There have been many approaches to this question, and the three most prominent ones have come from philosophy,... more info

2.William James: In the Maelstrom of American ModernismWilliam James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $4.53

Customer Review:
As a graduate student of counseling psychology, I read on average 300 pages a week for school. But after my reading for school is done, only one book can keep my attention, and that's Richardson's biography on James.
If you want to see American psychology at its roots, there's no one else to... more info

3.The Magic MountainThe Magic Mountain
from Vintage
Price: $10.42

Customer Review:
I read this book about ten years ago when I was 21. Mann, Dostoevsky and some other writers of the late 19th and early 20th century posses a singular gift for rendering all that is drab and uninspiring interesting and even original. Mann's keenness as an observer strips the lives of his characters... more info

4.The Originality of the Avant-Garde and Other Modernist MythsThe Originality of the Avant-Garde and Other Modernist Myths
from The MIT Press
Price: $21.00

Customer Review:
Don't let the number of syllables fool you - Krauss' words are far too big for her britches. Sarcastic and often defensive in tone, this polemic falls short of the academic masterpiece it is often purported to be. Her characterization of Mondrian's artistic program as an obsession with the grid... more info

5.Knossos and the Prophets of ModernismKnossos and the Prophets of Modernism
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $16.75

Customer Review:
To my luck, this book was released shortly before my planned vacation in Crete, site-not-to-be-missed being Knossos. The archeological museum was being renovated with only highlights on display. To my relief, the site was not as "restored" as the book might suggest. And most of the artifacts are not... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.81

Customer Review:
If one sums up Calinescu's book on modernity and this very complete anthology, one has probably the best combination to undertand this movement. Bradbury and McFarlane select some of the best examples I have seen for the topic and give a very clear perspective on the topic. Readers of some of the... more info

8.God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art (Cultural Exegesis)God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art (Cultural Exegesis)
from Baker Academic
Price: $9.62

Customer Review:
[ This review originally appeared on englewoodreview.org ]
First of all, to title a book of this complexity God in the Gallery is much too narrow; the encompassing image of a "transformed vision" that Daniel Siedell describes in this book points to an ecumenical engagement of the church, that... more info

9.The Cambridge Introduction to Modernism (Cambridge Introductions to Literature)The Cambridge Introduction to Modernism (Cambridge Introductions to Literature)
from Cambridge University Press
Price: $17.94

Customer Review:
Very complete, well-written, interesting to read, this introduction to Modernism is just what you're looking for, if you're interested in Modernism. It covers a lot of ground, and gives enough context, historical and otherwise, so that Modernism can be seen in perspective. Highly recommended.

10.Affective Mapping: Melancholia and the Politics of ModernismAffective Mapping: Melancholia and the Politics of Modernism
from Harvard University Press
Price: $33.69

Customer Review:
A good deal has been written on melancholy, especially in recent years, but Flatley's book stands out as both a useful introductory text and an insightful application of psychoanalytic theory. At the center of his discussion is an astute reading of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw. As fine as... more info
