A propos de cet article

Green cloth with black lettering. Hint of edgewear to head of spine. Text is clean and bright, no marks. Unclipped DJ shows tiny chips and small closed tears to top edge, spine slightly sunned. "This book creates the image of an era. It is a world in a mirror where, as Jean-Paul Sartre put it in a famous essay on Dos Passos, "you suddenly find yourself on the other side of the glass, among people and objects that have a familiar look. But they merely look familiar. We have never really seen them. The things of our world have, in turn, become outside reflections. You close the book, step over the edge of the mirror and return to this honest-to-goodness world, and you find furniture, gardens and people who have nothing to say to you. The mirror that closed behind you reflects them peacefully, and now you would swear that art is a reflection." With an introductory essay by Kenneth S. Lynn. N° de réf. du vendeur G011213
