The Great Good Place (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419164699)

The Great Good Place by Henry James is a collection of essays that explore the theme of social spaces and their role in society. James discusses the importance of places such as cafes, clubs, and other meeting places where people gather to socialize and exchange ideas. He argues that these places are essential for maintaining a healthy and vibrant society, as they provide a space for people to connect and engage with each other in a meaningful way.Throughout the book, James draws on his own experiences and observations of social spaces in Europe and America. He discusses the different types of social spaces that exist, their history and evolution, and the impact they have on society. He also explores the role of technology in shaping social spaces, and how the rise of digital communication has affected the way people interact with each other.The Great Good Place is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers a unique perspective on the importance of social spaces in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of urban spaces, as well as those looking for a deeper understanding of the role that social interaction plays in our lives.Dane picked out of his dim past a dozen halting similes. The sacred silent convent was one; another was the bright country-house. He did the place no outrage to liken it to an hotel; he permitted himself on occasion to feel it suggest a club. Such images, however, but flickered and went out--they lasted only long enough to light up the difference. An hotel without noise, a club without newspapers--when he turned his face to what it was ""without"" the view opened wide.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
