By
LOUIS MACNEICE. Marked with mature irony, this collection of poems

stylistically more incisive, closer to the breath of
experienc~

Three Plays
By
JEAN GIRAUDOUX.
Translated by
CHRISTOPHER FRY. These superb
translations of
Tiger at the Gates, Duel of Angels,
and

are re–
markable in their retention of the wit, grace, and deep emotion so
characteristic of Giraudoux-the most significant French dramatist of
the twentieth century.
Judith,
the newest translation, has not been pub–
lished before nor produced on Broadway. Harold Clurman, who directed
its London presentation, contributes an introduction
to
the volume.

Architecture in Transition
By
CONSTANTINOS A. DOXIADIS. Since World War II Doxiadis has
stepped from eminence in his Greek homeland to international architectural
pre-eminence. With this succinct, forthright statement of his controversial
philosophy,
h~
challenges the growing confusion of our "urban nightmare."
In a world strained by exploding population and industry, no one----expert
or layman--can afford to ignore his view of the social goals of architecture.
"One of the world's most distinguished
town
planners and consultants."

National Observer.
