Ilustration During Books Les choses

L.F: " Les choses " ? C'est un titre qui intrigue, qui alimente les malentendus. Plutôt qu'un livre sur les choses, au fond n'avez-vous pas écrit un livre sur le bonheur ? G. P: C'est qu'il y a, je pense, entre les choses du monde moderne et le bonheur, un rapport obligé. Une certaine richesse de notre civilisation rend un type de bonheur possible : on peut parler, en ce sens, comme d'un bonheur d'0rly, des moquettes profondes, d'une figure actuelle du bonheur qui fait, je crois, que pour être heureux, il faut être absolument moderne. Ceux qui se sont imaginé que je condamnais la société de consommation n'ont vraiment rien compris à mon livre. Mais ce bonheur demeure un possible ; car, dans notre société capitaliste, c'est : choses promises ne sont pas choses dues. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

Weigh Up Out Of Books Les choses

Perhaps the most depressing, cynical and accurate book on the middle class.

Things: A Story of the Sixties by Georges PerecI felt redeemed by reading this book. Every desire, dream, despair, longing, and myriads of other emotions I felt were described here. It was serendipitous to see my life story in Sylvies. Im just gushing over this book mentally and my writing cant keep up.

Read it in one sitting in a sunny afternoon in a Riga park. This book is amazing, gripping and oddly relatable for a twenty-something freelancer/ hipster like I was that afternoon. Makes me want to read more of the author and makes me wanna change my life. Perhaps. Someday. Maybe tomorrow.

Things surround us.In this respect their first sallies outside the student world, their first forays into the universe of high-class shops which was soon to become their Promised Land, were particularly revealing. Their still-wavering taste, their over-hesitant meticulousness, their lack of experience, their rather blinkered respect for what they believed to be the standards of true good taste, brought them some jarring moments, some humiliations.We live among things. We crave to possess things.

Things, we all want things. Stuff, we all like stuff. To have stuff we need money. To have money we need a way to get money. The hunt for stuff becomes a search for self, meaning, identity, and we live our lives in the conditional and future tenses, working at our so-called "bullshit jobs". Not much has changed since the 60s, it seems. Or the 20s, or whatever decade you care to name in modern times. Is what we have here then a little anti-modernity treatise? Perhaps, and if so, that's its flaw.
