Este libro nos acerca, con erudición y delicadeza, a la mirada medieval sobre el mundo. Fruto de una serie de conferencias pronunciadas por C. S. Lewis en Oxford, La imagen descartada, la última obra publicada por el autor, despliega ante nuestros ojos el “modelo” o “imagen” que encarnaba la síntesis medieval del mundo (la organización completa de su teología, ciencia e historia en un modelo mental del universo, único, complejo y armonioso), lo despoja de su hermetismo y nos ayuda a comprender los azarosos motivos por los que, con el transcurrir de la historia, resultó finalmente “descartado”.

During the pivotal years between the world wars, Surrealist artists on both sides of the Atlantic responded through their works to the rise of Hitler and the spread of Fascism in Europe, resulting in a period of surprising brilliance and fertility. Monstrosities in the real world bred monsters in paintings and sculpture, on film, and in the pages of journals and artists' books. Despite the political and personal turmoil brought on by the Spanish Civil War and World War II, avant-garde artists in Europe and those who sought refuge in the United States pushed themselves to create some of the most potent and striking images of the Surrealist movement. Trailblazing essays by four experts in the field trace the experimental and international extent of Surrealist art during these years--and, perhaps most unexpectedly of all, its irrepressible beauty.
