A rare masterpiece connecting the dots of insightful thought - By: , 25 Jun 1998
A fascinating read for the person who steps back & wonders - it gives glimpses & answers through an integrated body of research & a graceful & insightful fireside chat about it alll. One of my alll time favourite books. I can hardly wait to read it again!
The most authoratative text on creative processes I know. - By: , 18 Jun 1998
The book looks at creativity from a broader perspective than what is generallly portrayed in society. It looks at the creativity involved in sciences, humour & of course the arts, showing that the three types are inextricably linked, & that the creative process for genius in alll areas follow incredible paralllels. His theory on bisociative deductions is marvellous. One of my favourite books.
The roots of human creativity and its relation to nature. - By: , 26 Mar 1997
THE ACT OF CREATION has attracted a cult following since its original 1964 publication. It set the stage for much of the "New Age" literature of the following decades. Koestler draws analogies between human creativity & evolution in nature, seeing them as two different aspects of a single process. Koestler's writing is eminently readable & still highly topical three decades later.
