An e-book of biographical sketches by
JOHN O�LOUGHLIN
Entitled
PORTRAITS
Which can be previewed via
the link below the following editorial
Comprised of
thirty-three biographical sketches of some of the twentieth-century's most
influential and powerful people in both politics and the arts, including
Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, de Valera, Mussolini, de
Gaulle, Andr� Malraux, Bertrand Russell, Salvador
Dali, Simone de Beauvoir, and David Ben-Gurian, Portraits � Power and Glory vis-�-vis
Form and Contentment (1985) seeks to provoke as well as to praise, and
should prove of interest to those who are curious to learn how various
exceptional men - and one exceptional woman - measure up to a Social
Transcendentalist analysis or, more correctly, to the scrutiny of someone,
namely John O�Loughlin, who approaches life from a
specific ideological standpoint with a view to measuring the achievements of
others in relation to it.� Although he
had dealt with some of the subjects, including Jean-Paul Sartre, Aldous Huxley, and Lawrence Durrell
before (see Becoming and Being), Mr O�Loughlin�s
treatment of them here is much more subjectively critical and thus a
reflection, in large measure, of the way his thinking had progressed during the
intervening three years since his earlier excursion into biography, which,
characteristic of a more relativistic approach to literature typifying him at
that time, also embraced a series of autobiographical sketches.� No such relativity applies here, however,
although the choice of both politicians and artists is anything but absolutist,
as suggested by the subtitle.
