Things: A Story of the Sixties

Regular price ₱440.55
Unit price
per

Satirical take on materialism's grip on dreams.

"Things" is a poignant exploration that resonates deeply with anyone feeling the lure of material desires over genuine life experiences. Georges Perec masterfully captures the paradox of the consumerist chase, where the very objects meant to bring happiness also weave a trap of dissatisfaction. It's a thoughtful read for those who've ever questioned the true cost of their wants and the weight of possessions on their freedom.

Description

A Story of the Sixties is the story of a young couple who want to enjoy life, but the only way they know how to do so is through ownership of 'things'. Perec's first novel won the Prix Renaudot and became the cult book for a generation. In A Man Asleep, a young student embarks upon a disturbing and exhaustive pursuit of indifference, following his experience in non-existence with relentless logic.
