Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Christ-Child in Art: A Study of Interpretation If it were possible for the writer of this book to talk for a little while with those who are about to read it, he would not wander from his opportunity by trying to excuse its shortcomings. His chief desire and endeavour would be simply to express the spirit of what is written here in such a way that it might appear from the beginning in a true light, and with its own personal character. In effect, he would try to create an understanding between the book and its readers, feeling quite sure that they would give it fair judgment, provided only they did not take it at the outset for something else than what it is meant to be. It is likely that he would wish to say something a little different to each one of them. For the fault of a written Preface is that it remains always the same. It has no faculty of accommodation. To accomplish its design perfectly it should have the power of change, in order to adapt itself to the delicate work of opening a real communication between one mind and another. The ideal book would have a separate introduction to every reader. But, after all, there would probably be a good deal of the same substance, though uttered with a different accent and emphasis, in each of the addresses. Certain things would always need to be said as briefly and as clearly as possible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
