Book Description

Described as "a major achievement for any writer" and having "the potential to become one of the seminal works of our time", Ilario Colli's bold first work, In Art as in Life ventures into territory few modern culture theorists dare to cover. Learned yet imminently accessible, In Art as in Life delights with its sumptuous language and its profound ideas.Its effortless navigation through 1,700 years of literature, music and the visual arts leads the reader to a startling conclusion: the contemporary Postmodern aesthetic, like the moral relativism that spawned it, is not - as it's often claimed to be - a sign of a robust, self-confident creative culture, but rather the primary artistic symptom of a metaphysically ailing civilisation; one still recovering from the demise of moral absolutism and still struggling to find meaning in its wake. What people have said about In Art as in Life: "In Art as in Life would represent a major achievement for any writer. It contains numerous ideas of genuine originality, the likes of which we rarely come across. I believe it will prove a real contribution to the wider understanding of our culture."- Robert Gibbs, former publisher, Limelight Magazine"An outstanding achievement for a young academic...possessing a superbly crafted argument."- Dr. David Symons, Professor, University of Western Australia School of Music"...conceptually original and profound, and exquisitely well written."- Dr. Victoria Rogers, Professor, Edith Cowan University

I'm absolutely in love with this app! It's like a library of stories in my pocket. I'm amazed at how this app has made reading fit into every aspect of my life. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional. Perfect for my daily walks. The story was engaging enough to keep me motivated to exercise but not so complex that I got lost in thought. Great production quality too.

🌌 Igniting my imagination while preparing dinner – this app adds flavor to every meal! 🍲📖 An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with it—the narration was fine, and the story was okay—but nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute.

This app has made waiting in lines and queues an opportunity for exploration and enjoyment. Audiobook enthusiasts, gather around! This app's exceptional features, from audio filters to robust support, have transformed my daily routines into storytelling moments. 🎉🎧 I'm blown away by the silky-smooth playback, even for high-quality formats like FLAC. Top-notch performance! A masterclass in audiobook narration! The performer maintained perfect consistency in character voices throughout while keeping the main narration clear and engaging. The production was flawless - no weird edits or background noise. I'll be seeking out more works by this narrator. A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable.
