Tungkol sa ebook na ito
Unicorns by James Huneker is a brilliant and idiosyncratic collection of essays that traverse the realms of music, literature, visual art, criticism, and cultural commentary. Blending sharp wit, intellectual depth, and poetic insight, Huneker captures the spirit of the early 20th century through profiles, personal reflections, and stylistic explorations. This volume includes diverse essays on composers like Edward MacDowell, Brahms, Chopin, and Wagner; literary masters such as Henry James, James Joyce, Huysmans, and George Sand; and artists like Cézanne and Artzibashef. Huneker meditates on broad themes such as the evolution of prose style, the intersection of the arts, the mythical ideal of the Great American Novel, and even metaphysical musings in essays like Four Dimensional Vistas and Creative Involution. Despite the title, the book is not about unicorns in the mythical sense but about rare and visionary figures—intellectual unicorns—whose ideas and artistry shaped modern sensibilities. Huneker’s prose is lyrical and vigorous, reflecting his unique voice as a bohemian critic and cultural observer. This work serves as both an artistic memoir and a cultural time capsule for lovers of music, literature, and thought.
