Описание:

What does it mean today to experience a work of art? In a culture of triviality and cynicism, at the mercy of a zeitgeist that prizes the superfluous and ephemeral, where can we turn in search of the genuine, the sincere, the truly accomplished? And even if we were to find these things, would we know how to acknowledge their value?

The thirty essays in See What I See are the fruits of a lifetime spent grappling with these questions. By turns lyrical and arch, nostalgic and impassioned, gnomic and piercingly insightful, they seek answers in the achievements of the masters as well as in less likely places. For Greg Gerke, the nectar of aesthetic experience is found as often in the human body as in poetry or prose, as much in a movement through the world as on celluloid or canvas.

Along with giants like Rilke and Woolf, Gertrude Stein and William H. Gass, Ingmar Bergman and Stanley Kubrick, Gerke's touchstones include relationships on the rocks, the wreckage of one night's lust, desire, heartache, confusion, naivet , the beauty of the spoken voice, and the persistent longing for a lasting connection with someone, or something, meaningful.

Описание: Four books in one In PIERCING THE VEIL, A young psychic (whose ego is even more amazing than his good looks) convinces Brenda to join him in traversing the spirit world. Together they visit the Gate's headquarters and experience the organization's twisting and imprisoning of human souls. In HOME BASE, Chad Thorton, the newest member of the team, thinks it's time to transform from a hastily assembled gaggle of individuals to a team with a focus, a mission, and a home base. The others resist the idea . . . until they're all targeted in their various home towns. They come together, battered and confused, to the hotel that is Chad's chosen headquarters-but they'll soon find out that they're not safe even there. In FAIRY, When the Harbingers team is sent to Mexico to search for a fairy, Andi is thinking of pretty wings and magic wands until they are shown the dead body of an actual winged creature. From where did these things come, and why has there been no sighting of them until now? When someone reminds them of an age-old prediction, the "fairies" seem much more sinister than charming. In AT SEA, Tank and the Harbingers team have faced strange and frightening things in the past. This might be the strangest. Every trial they've faced, they've faced together, but now they don't even recognize each other-or themselves. Tank awakens on a bed in a small room. He doesn't know where he is. Worse, he doesn't know who he is. The image in the mirror is that of a stranger wearing a tuxedo. Before long, Tank learns that he's on an old style cruise ship-a powerless vessel adrift on a flat ocean, lost in a gray fog that blankets everything under the flat gray sky. Tank doesn't like the fog. Or the ship that periodically shuffles its decks. Soon, Tank learns that he's not the only being on the mystery ship. He begins to wish he was.
