[GET] 1831 Sartor Resartus
I wasn't sure what this was when I came across it but there was an entry about it in Wikipedia. You may or may not trust Wikipedia, but this is what it says:
Quote:Sartor Resartus (meaning 'The tailor re-tailored') is an 1836 novel by Thomas Carlyle, first published as a serial in 1833–34 in Fraser's Magazine. The novel purports to be a commentary on the thought and early life of a German philosopher called Diogenes Teufelsdröckh (which translates as 'god-born devil-dung'),[1] author of a tome entitled "Clothes: Their Origin and Influence", but was actually a poioumenon ("product").[2] Teufelsdröckh's Transcendentalist musings are mulled over by a sceptical English Reviewer (referred to as Editor) who also provides fragmentary biographical material on the philosopher. The work is, in part, a parody of Hegel, and of German Idealism more generally. However, Teufelsdröckh is also a literary device with which Carlyle can express difficult truths. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sartor_Resartus It might be an entertaining novel for some. :) DL: http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/YJfxG0yt/file.html |
