Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 112 pages. Published in 2012. The philosopher/author's account on subject. One of Alain Badiou's finest achievements. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, of which there are very many. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in its First Edition hardcover format, Alain Badiou's "In Praise of Love" in a felicitous English translation. His philosophy of "rupture" and its transformative power to one's "love life", amid the hectic demands and reductive-ness of modern technology. "In a world rife with consumerism, where online dating promises risk-free romance and love is all too often seen as a mere variant of desire and hedonism, Alain Badiou believes that love is under threat. Taking to heart Rimbaud's famous line, 'love needs reinventing', 'In Praise of Love' is the celebrated French intellectual's passionate treatise in defense of love. For Badiou, love is an existential project, a constantly unfolding quest for truth. This quest begins with the chance encounter, an Event that forever changes two individuals, challenging them to see the world from the point-of-view of two rather than one. This is love's most essential transforming power. A vibrant cast of thinkers is invoked: Kierkegaard, Plato, De Beauvoir, Proust, and others, to create a new narrative of love in the face of 21st-century modernity. Moving, zealous, and wise, Badiou's paean to the unifying power of love urges us not to fear it, but to see it as a magnificent undertaking that compels us to explore others and to move away from an obsession with ourselves" (Publishers Weekly). An absolute "must-have" title for Alain Badiou collectors. This title is a contemporary - and accessible - philosophy classic. As far as we know, this is the only copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws (because they were avidly read), are in multiple subsequent printings, as this was one of the most popular books by Alain Badiou, if not the most, or are the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the greatest philosophers of our time. A fine copy.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. First Thus. First thus. Paperback in wraps. 19.5 × 12.5cm, 201pp. Federico Garcia Lorca's first book, published when he was just nineteen, is a series of meditations on Spanish art, landscapes and history. Brimming with passion and excitement, the young writer travels in search of Spain's essential spirit: sunsets in Granada, the Gothic magnificence of Burgos Cathedral, 'the savage splendour' of Castile's mountains and plains. While Lorca celebrated Spanish culture - romantic gardens, agonised crucifixes, Gregorian plainchant and 'the bite of flamenco' - he was also fearlessly critical when, for example, the harshness and celibacy of monks' lives or poverty and injustice aroused his rage. Serif's new edition of this formative work by one of the twentieth century's greatest writers takes the reader straight to the heart of Lorca's Spain. With its rich, poetic prose, Sketches of Spain is a missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle of a creative life cut tragically short by the author's assassination at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. The book is illustrated by Julian Bell, the son of Quentin Bell, grandson of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, and nephew of Julian Bell who was killed in the Spanish Civil War in 1937.
