Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". "It is as it stands now the frank confession of what one man of the early Twentieth Century has found in life and himself, a confession just as frank as the limitations of his character permit; it is his metaphysics, his religion, his moral standards, his uncertainties and the expedients with which he met them." This is probably the best concise description of First and Last Things that is possible; for it is a strictly personal work, more expository than argumentative. Mr. Wells tells us what he feels and believes, and how he believes he ought to act. He believes, incidentally, he says, that other men are like him; but this he does not know, so he does not obtrude it. In taking this standpoint, Mr. Wells has very cleverly defeated criticism at the outset. For if we should wish to say, "Such and such a statement is true neither of the world, nor of my friends, nor of me, " we might well expect him to answer, "possibly not; but, as I said, it is true of H. G. Wells!" And it would surely be the last word in impertinence for anyone to question him.The best part of it all is that Mr. H. G. Wells's views are entertaining and clear and brilliant and healthy. They are often startling, but he has taught us to expect that. Neither do we always agree with them; but, if we did, they would be our views. 606 $aConduct of life 606 $aWells, H. G. (Herbert George), 1866-1946 606 $aLife 615 0$aConduct of life. 615 0$aWells, H.

Après l'euphorie des premières années, ayant dû traverser les eaux peu navigables de la postmodernité des années 1980, il semble avoir peu à peu dérivé loin de sa route initiale. Cette étude dégage les différentes strates qui constituent l'utopie d'origine et définissent la vocation du Centre. Elle analyse son histoire et son devenir, se penche sur l'impensé de sa conception et sur les logiques de son évolution. Ce faisant, elle dessine, en creux, les voies d'une nouvelle réflexion sur la culture ainsi que les chemins d'un avenir possible pour le Centre Georges Pompidou, qui demeure une institution irremplaçable. 610 $autopie 610 $aculture 610 $aCentre Georges Pompidou 700 $aLauxerois$b Jean$0738623 702 $aLauxerois$b Jean 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139982103321 996 $aL'Utopie Beaubourg: Vingt Ans Après$92862874 997 $aUNINA
