BRAND NEW, A Guide to Philosophy in Six Hours and Fifteen Minutes, Witold Gombrowicz, Benjamin Ivry, In this inspired book, the eminent Polish author Witold Gombrowicz reflects on seven great philosophers. He discusses Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Heidegger in six "one-hour" essays, then allows Marx a short "fifteen-minute" piece."Brilliantly, savagely funny. . . . Gombrowicz is that rare writer in whom the weight of a powerful intellect is leavened by both linguistic daring and an infectious sense of whimsy."--Benjamin Paloff, "The Nation""[This book] is like the course in philosophy you wish you had taken."--David Lehman, "Bloomberg News""Vintage Gombrowicz: concise, sober, lucid, and radically agnostic."--Ewa Thompson, "Slavic and East European Journal""A must for every reader of Gombrowicz."--Denis Hollier, New York University.

Book Description: Yale University Press, 2007. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969), novelist, essayist, and playwright, was one of the most important Polish writers of the twentieth century. A candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1968, he was described by Milan Kundera as "one of the great novelists of our century" and by John Updike as "one of the profoundest of the late moderns."Gombrowicz's works were considered scandalous and subversive by the ruling powers in Poland and were banned for nearly forty years. He spent his last years in France teaching philosophy; this book is a series of reflections based on his lectures.Gombrowicz discusses Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Heidegger in six "one-hour" essays and addresses Marxism in a shorter "fifteen-minute" piece. The text--a small literary gem full of sardonic wit, brilliant insights, and provocative criticism--constructs the philosophical lineage of his work. Bookseller Inventory # AAW9780300123685
