The Gift: How the Creative Spirit Transforms the World

Celebrating creativity's transformative societal impact.

If you value the power of creativity and its role in resisting the pull of materialism, "The Gift" is your kind of read. Lewis Hyde eloquently champions the importance of artistic expression, making a case that will resonate with your artistic sensibilities and maybe even inspire you to see your creative ventures as vital acts of generosity. It's a thought-provoking exploration that could redefine how you perceive the value of art and creativity in the world.

Description

What are the most important gifts in life? What is the value of art in our society? Are we in danger of ignoring our most precious commodity? A brilliantly argued defence of the importance of creativity in our increasingly money-orientated society, The Gift is a modern classic. It is even more relevant now than when it originally appeared twenty years ago. One of the most acclaimed books of the year, beloved by artists, writers and thinkers, The Gift will transform the way you look at the world.
