The Poetics of Space (Paperback, Revised)

A beloved multidisciplinary treatise comes to Penguin Classics
Rare is the work of philosophy that invites both the casual reader and the academic. Rare, too, is the text so universal that luminaries across an array of fields lay claim to it. Yet, that is precisely the case with Gaston Bachelard's "The Poetics of Space." A rumination on the spaces we inhabit and the dreams and memories that fill them, this seminal work continues to be studied and enjoyed by philosophers, architects, writers, and literary theorists alike.
This new edition features a foreword by Mark Z. Danielewski, whose bestselling novel "House of Leaves" drew inspiration from Bachelard's writings, and an introduction by internationally renowned philosopher Richard Kearney who explains the book's enduring importance and its role within Bachelard's remarkable career.
