Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Whenever I'm down, I pick up this book and it instantly makes me feel better. The art is amazing, the text beautifully absurd and full of wonderful lines you'll remember always. However, I know that this isn't a book for everyone because when I showed it to my Mama she agreed that the art was great but her overall expression was one of bewilderment. If you're not familiar with Gorey, I recommend looking at this one before buying it. If you love Gorey, though, you should love this book! Even the cover is perfect.

Contingut aGorey-in-a-box: amphigorey & amphigorey too de Edward Gorey (indirecte)
Inspired by Samuel Foote's poem, The Grand Panjandrum, The Object-Lesson presents a stunning series of seemingly random and unrelated events. A missing artificial limb, ghostly spectres, and the statue of Corrupted Endeavour all have a place in this enigmatic tale, which combines elements of French surrealism, Japanese haiku, and lots of good fun. With its humorous obscurity and puzzling intrigues, The Object-Lesson delights and provokes. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

If you are not familiar with Gorey’s work, there’s that too. These words come to mind: obscure, absurd, enigmatic, compelling, charming. Meaningful and yet hard to say exactly what the meaning might be. I recommend this book. And I can promise one thing: it will not require a large commitment of your time!
