Book Synopsis Art of the Siesta by : Thierry Paquot
Download or read book Art of the Siesta written by Thierry Paquot and published by Universe Publishing(NY). This book was released on 2005 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With charming urbanity and lightness of touch, Thierry Paquot argues the case for those few snatched moments of rest taken during the day in an elegantly illustrated book that will make a handsome gift for any occasion. This refreshingly original contribution to the literature of relaxation is a wonderful, sometimes erotic philosophical read that encourages us to cherish the age-old tradition of the siesta, which has ancient roots in antiquity yet is yielding even in Mediterranean lands to the tyranny of the 9-to-5 workday. Whether a heavy sleep or a five-minute doze, an afternoon nap or a mid-morning daydreaming, the siesta comes in many forms, all of which permit us to relax and reflect in the midst of a hectic daily schedule. More than that, the siesta represents the art of living ― an assertion of human autonomy in an increasingly corporatized and globalized culture. Each chapter muses on a different aspect of the siesta and celebrates the importance of “unconstructed” time as depicted in painting, literature, and philosophy throughout history. These moments of rest are a hidden muse responsible for many of our cultural monuments, and allow an intertwining of the intellectual and the erotic in everyday life. The book is punctuated with 16 illustrations depicting the art inspired by the siesta. The Art of the Siesta is a celebration of those fleeting moments when the mind is free to reflect, enjoy, and recover. As Paquot writes, “the siesta is a means for us to reclaim our own time, outside the clockmakers’ control. The siesta is our liberator.”
