It starts with going over what different religions teach about how things came to be in existence. You definitively want the illustrated copy. ( ) Naše predstave o svetu u kome živimo i koje smo često skloni da bez rezerve prihvatimo, imaju svoju dugu i neretko burnu predistoriju. Zbog čega je taj svet kakav jeste, koji su to stavovi, dogme, izumi, otkrića, koje su istine ili zablude učinile da on za nas poprimi upravo onakav oblik, i da ga upravo na ovakav način opažamo i shvatamo, pitanja su na koja Borstinova knjiga pokušava najpre da nas navede, a zatim i da nam ponudi odgovore. Uz živopisnu pozadinu koju čine biografije istraživača iz različitih epoha, upoznajemo se ne samo sa velikim i važnim otkrićima, već i sa tim kako je do njih došlo. Imena Kolumba, Balboe, Magelana i Kuka, Paracelzusa, Galena, Verzalija i Harvija nisu samo simboli za najznačajnija otkrića u istoriji sveta; oni na stranicama Borstinove knjige oživljavaju sa svim svojim vrlinama ali i manama, težnjama i strepnjama zbog kojih zauvek ostaju to što jesu. Tras haber narrado en Los descubridores la búsqueda del hombre para conocer el mundo, Daniel J. Boorstin completa aquella imagen con la de Los creadores: los héroes de la imaginación que con sus visiones «han engrandecido, embellecido y adornado nuestra experiencia ». Aunque nos hable de todas las formas del arte, desde los orígenes hasta nuestros días, Los creadores no es una «historia del arte», sino que va mucho más allá y más adentro: es una guía para comprender las razones que movieron a los creadores y para disfrutar plenamente de sus obras. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

By piecing the lives of selected individuals into a grand mosaic, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Daniel J. Boorstin explores the development of artistic innovation over 3,000 years. A hugely ambitious chronicle of the arts that Boorstin delivers with the scope that made his Discoverers a national bestseller. Even as he tells the stories of such individual creators as Homer, Joyce, Giotto, Picasso, Handel, Wagner, and Virginia Woolf, Boorstin assembles them into a grand mosaic of aesthetic and intellectual invention. In the process he tells us not only how great art (and great architecture and philosophy) is created, but where it comes from and how it has shaped and mirrored societies from Vedic India to the twentieth-century United States.
