The Gift : Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World
ISBN: 9780307279507
Publication Date: 4 December 2007

By now a modern classic, "The Gift" is a brilliantly orchestrated defense of the value of creativity and of its importance in a culture increasingly governed by money and overrun with commodities. Widely available again after twenty-five years, this book is even more necessary today than when it first appeared. An illuminating and transformative book, and completely original in its view of the world, "The Gift" is cherished by artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers. It is in itself a gift to all who discover the classic wisdom found in its pages.
