"Gorgeously illustrated two-volume set..." ~O, the Oprah Magazine
Kurzbeschreibung
The first illustrated book by one of the world’s most acclaimed authors, History of Beauty presents an intriguing journey into the wonderful realm of aesthetics, exploring the ever-changing concept of the beautiful from ancient Greece to today with abundant examples. Closely examining the development of the visual arts and drawing on literature from each era, the range of Eco’s inquiry includes concepts such as the idea of love, natural inspiration versus numeric formulas, and the unattainable woman. In the mold of History of Beauty, On Ugliness is an exploration of the monstrous and the repellant in visual culture and arts. Eco’s encyclopedic knowledge and captivating storytelling combines in this ingenious study of the ugly, revealing that we often shield ourselves from what we’re most attracted to subliminally. With numerous examples of art, and quotations from the most celebrated writers and philosophers of each age, this provocative book explores in-depth the concepts of evil, depravity, and darkness in art and literature.

A beautiful set, and a real bargain!
20. Mai 2009
There's nothing much I can say about the book that has not been said by G. Merrit. I pretty much agree with everything in Merrit's review.
But I gotta say, this is a bargain, a real one. You get so much more than your money's worth. In my case, for example, it would have been very expensive to buy these books here in Mexico, either together or piece by piece in the "local" edition. Even with the sky-high dollar-peso exchange rate and international shipping and handling I saved almost 30% of what they cost here and they arrived within a week! Amazon was a life saver on this one!
So, really, this is a must-have box set, a real beauty in every sense: it's a high-quality edition, printed on acid-free paper, has bright colored mate illustrations and obviously, it's Umberto Eco's work so you know you can't go wrong with this box set.
And we all love box-sets don't we?

beautiful edition
30. November 2010
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Eco's intelligent analysis supplements the great art pieces collected under one cover. Since it's the analysis, and not the reproductions, that are the focus of this work, the pictures are often too small to appreciate the detail. You will have to look online, buy another art book, or go to a museum if something catches your eye.

Beauty on Eco but not Ugliness
9. Oktober 2009
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a fine art practitioner with little knowledge, it was good resource to begin with. This book is one of those recommended resource for art practitioner. It is not complex writing and has clear structure based on the Art history. I read this in library first, my friends highly recommended it and I also thought it was worth buying.
And for Amazon, never disappoint the delivery procedure. I received it within two weeks in Australia.
