Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A masterwork of poetic urban observation, The Stroller of Paris is Léon-Paul Fargue's luminous love letter to the city he wandered, savored, and immortalized in prose. Long unavailable in English, this book opens the door to a Paris now spectral and half-forgotten--where the boulevards echoed with café banter, jazz and politics collided in salons, and the ghosts of Baudelaire and Montmartre's bohemians still haunted the mist. Fargue was called 'the stroller of Paris' not merely for his gait but for his gaze: intimate, encyclopedic, and electric. From the hidden depths of La Chapelle to the glitter of the Champs-Élysées, he guides us through arrondissements like a flâneur-philosopher--equal parts Proust and Apollinaire--seeking the soul of a city in every reflection, every voice, every shifting light. Translated with uncommon sensitivity by Rainer J. Hanshe, The Stroller of Paris is not just a book about Paris--it is Paris, in all its bygone splendor and raw humanity. An essential rediscovery for lovers of literature, history, and the art of the dérive.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A whirlwind tour of two and a half millennia--told in 100 razor-sharp haiku. In this audacious pocket history, celebrated Greek poet Haris Vlavianos compresses Western philosophy from Thales to Nussbaum into crystalline 5-7-5 bursts: funny, heretical, and unexpectedly illuminating. Plato gets a cave with 'all mod cons.' Kant boots up a 'laptop mind.' Wittgenstein tries to coax a fly from its bottle. It's Russell meets Basho, Socrates with a punchline--and beneath the wit, real argument and insight.Rendered into live, witty English by Peter Mackridge, The History of Western Philosophy in 100 Haiku is a perfect gift for the philosophically curious, the poetry-obsessed, and anyone who likes their big ideas distilled to their brightest essence. Read it straight through, keep it by the bedside, or press it into a skeptic's hand: you'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll never look at the canon the same way again.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A philosopher in the guise of a rake. In this wild, dazzling work of literary reinvention, Hungarian modernist Miklós Szentkuthy uses Casanova's memoirs as a springboard for something far stranger: a swirling meditation on eros, memory, disguise, vanity, and the metaphysics of seduction. Blending fiction, philosophy, and improvisation, Marginalia on Casanova is less a commentary than an ecstatic interruption--part reverie, part performance, part private theatre of ideas. Szentkuthy's prose is electric, erratic, and baroque, drawing comparisons to Joyce, Borges, and Pater, but like nothing else in modern literature. First published in 1939, it launched a one-man avant-garde in Budapest and remains one of the most intoxicating debuts of the twentieth century.…
