520 1 $a"In the mold of his acclaimed History of Beauty, renowned author and culture critic Umberto Ecos's On Ugliness is an exploration of the dark, the grotesque, the monstrous, and the repellent in visual culture and the arts. What is the voyeuristic impulse behind our attraction to the gruesome and the horrible? Where does the magnetic appeal of the sordid and the scandalous come from? why do we fear death, illness, imperfection, apocalypse? Is ugliness also in the eye of the beholder? Eco's encyclopedic knowledge and captivating storytelling skills combine in this ingenious and fascinating study of the Ugly, revealing that what we often shield ourselves from and shun in everyday life is what we're most attracted to subliminally."--BOOK JACKET.
