Summary: incredibly brilliant book
Review: When I read I dogear pages with especially interesting quotes on them, & in this book I dogeared almost every page...& on each page I can't tell now what quote I was dogearing for, because everything he says is so amazing. This book is so beautiful with its ingenius motion through psychology, architecture, poetry, & on & on. Of all the books in my personal library, this is one of the very most highly recommended from me to any reader. I am sure that no one was mistaken in hailing Bachelard as one of the 20th century's greatest philosophers.

Summary: About "The Poetics of Space"
Review: Written by one of the leading European philosophers of this century, 'The Poetics of Space' is an appealing exploration of how our perceptions of houses and other shelters shape our thoughts, memories, and dreams."A magical book....'The Poetics of Space' is a prism through which all worlds from literary creation to housework to aesthetics to carpentry take on enhanced--and enchanted--significances. Every reader of it will never again see ordinary spaces in ordinary ways. Instead the reader will see with the soul of the eye, the glint of Gaston Bachelard."--from the new foreword by John R. Stilgoe
