Résumé:
''Book of ruins'' offers a survey – not encyclopedic, but substantial – of leading moments when the fact and idea of ruins were taken up by writers, travellers and artists: painters, film makers, landscape architects, and architects. Gathering together short texts and extracts that describe and reflect on ruins, dating from remote antiquity (Scipio shedding tears when viewing the destruction of Carthage) to present times (the ruins of a modern city, portrayed in the film ''Requiem for Detroit''), it provides a perspective upon what the past has meant to different cultures at different times. Following an introductory essay, the book includes 70 entries, chronologically ordered, each including an indicative image (or two), an introductory commentary by the authors, and the text itself. The texts come from designers (from Bernini through Piranesi to David Chipperfield) as well as other artists (John Piper), and from literary figures (Goethe, Wordsworth, Byron and Shelley, Hugo, and Hardy). It concludes by discussing what we do with ruins by way of preservation, conservation, adaptive reuse and appropriation, and contemporary loss and ruin, as illustrated by 9/11 and the Neues Museum and highlighting the continuing relevance of the ruin.

Résumé:
Figure majeure et originale des landscape studies anglo-saxonnes, Jackson (1911-1996), fut successivement touriste-reporter un Europe, romancier, cow-boy, officier de renseignement, ranchero, éditeur, et visiting professor dans quelques-unes des plus grandes universités américaines. Les nombreux essais qu'il a consacrés à la lecture des paysages occidentaux et a leurs mutations conjuguent une observation de première main avec une culture historique exceptionnelle et une grande indépendance d'esprit qui s'exprime dans une prose souple et maîtrisée. Dans la Nécessité des Ruines, l'un de ses recueils les plus aboutis, ce précurseur de l'enseignement du paysage livre une sorte de testament : de la balade considérée comme un des beaux-arts.
