Description xxxix, 241 pages ; 21 cm Contents The house. From cellar to garret. The significance of the hut -- House and universe -- Drawers, chests and wardrobes -- Nests -- Shells -- Corners -- Miniature -- Intimate immensity -- the dialectics of outside and inside -- The phenomenology of roundness Summary "This is a deep, magical, densely captivating book about space, our homes, how we live in them, and how dwellings and space affect us; it is as much a book of philosophy as a work of serious literature. It requires careful, preferably leisurely reading, with the possibility of moments to pause and digest and re-read the words. It will change the way you look at your home and your life, providing a deeper, more insightful relationship with the spaces you occupy." - product description Analysis Imagination Poetry Space and time Notes Originally published: New York : Orion Press, 1964 Translation of: La poétique de l'espace Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Translated from French Subject Imagination.
