AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Author: Alain
Title: Propos - Volume I - No. 116 - 1370 pages - year 1990 - Edition: Maurice Savin, foreword by André Maurois
Period covered: 1906–1936
The Propos of Alain are short philosophical texts, published daily in the press between 1906 and 1936. They constitute a unique genre, blending moral, political, aesthetic, and metaphysical reflection. Alain practices a brief, incisive, pedagogical thought, seeking to “raise the news item to the level of metaphysics.”
- Volume I shows a lively, aggressive, contemplative Alain, according to Maurois’s preface, a thinker who “does not forget any of the Alains that are Alain.”
Title: Propos - Volume II - No. 217 - 1326 pages - year 1990 - Edition: Samuel Sylvestre de Sacy
This second volume continues and completes the collection, covering other series of Propos published in various journals.
Characteristics of Volume II:
- More analytical, sometimes more serious, marked by the events of the interwar period.
- Deepens the major themes of the first volume, with a darker maturity.
Format: 17.5 x 11 cm
Full brown ochre binding, presence of rodoïds and white cardboard enclosures decorated by the publisher
Condition: spine of the rodoïds slightly loose, a fine overall set
Weight: 1.150 Kg
