Louis Lambert naquit, en 1797, Montoire, petite ville du Vend mois, o son p re exploitait une tannerie de m diocre importance et comptait faire de lui son successeur; mais les dispositions qu'il manifesta pr matur ment pour l' tude modifi rent l'arr t paternel. D'ailleurs le tanneur et sa femme ch rissaient Louis comme on ch rit un fils unique et ne le contrariaient en rien. L'Ancien et le Nouveau Testament taient tomb s entre les mains de Louis l' ge de cinq ans; et ce livre, o sont contenus tant de livres, avait d cid de sa destin e. Cette enfantine imagination comprit-elle d j la myst rieuse profondeur des critures, pouvait-elle d j suivre l'Esprit-Saint dans son vol travers les mondes, s' prit-elle seulement des romanesques attraits qui abondent en ces po mes tout orientaux; ou, dans sa premi re innocence, cette me sympathisa-t-elle avec le sublime religieux que des mains divines ont panch dans ce livre Pour quelques lecteurs, notre r cit r soudra ces questions. Un fait r sulta de cette premi re lecture de la Bible: Louis allait par tout Montoire, y qu tant des livres qu'il obtenait la faveur de ces s ductions dont le secret n'appartient qu'aux enfants, et auxquelles personne ne sait r sister.
I Au moment o Louis Breuil mettait la main sur l'anneau du timbre, huit heures du soir sonnaient l'h tel de ville de Ch teaudun. Le jeune homme retira ses doigts avec pr cipitation, comme s'il e t t enchant de pouvoir se donner lui-m me un pr texte pour retarder son entr e, et faisant quelques pas, il se retourna vers la vall e du Loir, qui s' tendait ses pieds. Le soleil sur son d clin l'emplissait de sa splendeur; ce doux paysage fait pour reposer les yeux prenait cette heure un charme mu, intime et p n trant, qui disposait l' me cet ordre de pens es m lancoliques, particuli rement ch res aux esprits r veurs. Louis contempla la vall e pleine de feuillages, la rivi re argent e qui courait sinueuse entre deux rang es de saules t t s. La silhouette aux ar tes vives du ch teau superbe qui semble construit d'hier, tellement il est immuable dans sa perfection, se dessinait et bornait le regard peu de distance devant lui. Cette vue lui arracha un soupir. Breuil n'aimait point les lignes arr t es ni les bornes pr cises; ce qu'il fallait cette me flottante, c' tait le flou des horizons noy s dans la vapeur dor e du soir et l'ind cis des brouillards du matin... Aussi bien tait-ce cet amour du mal d fini qui lui avait fait quitter tout l'heure l'anneau qu'il tenait entre les doigts.

A visual compendium revealing the philosophy and life of America’s renowned architect The story of Louis H. Sullivan is considered one of the great American tragedies. While Sullivan reshaped architectural thought and practice and contributed significantly to the foundations of modern architecture, he suffered a sad and lonely death. Many have since missed his aim: that of bringing buildings to life. What mattered most to Sullivan were not the buildings but the philosophy behind their creation. Once, he unconcernedly stated that if he lived long enough, he would get to see all of his works destroyed. He added: “Only the idea is the important thing.”In Louis Sullivan’s Idea, Chicago architectural historian Tim Samuelson and artist/writer Chris Ware present Sullivan’s commitment to his discipline of thought as the guiding force behind his work, and this collection of photographs, original documentation, and drawings all date from the period of Sullivan's life, 1856–1924, that many rarely or have never seen before. The book includes a full-size foldout facsimile reproduction of Louis Sullivan’s last architectural commission and the only surviving working drawing done in his own hand.
A gorgeous color depiction of every remaining structure designed by Louis Sullivan Louis Henry Sullivan (1856–1924) is a foundational figure in American architecture. Long considered the father of the skyscraper, he first came to wide attention in 1889 with the completion of the Auditorium Building in Chicago. Here, for the first time, every remaining structure designed by Louis Sullivan is captured in striking color by award-winning architectural photographer James Caulfield and is accompanied by highlights of his life and accomplishments, detailed by Patrick F. Cannon. Sullivan became famous for his dictum “form ever follows function,” and his genius shines here in stunning photographs that establish his place among the greatest of the world’s architects.
