"One must draw very close to hear what he is saying.". The elusive French luminary Joseph Joubert is a great explorer of the mind's open spaces. Edited and translated by Paul Auster, this selection from Joubert's notebooks introduces a master of the enigmatic who seeks "to call everything by its true name" while asking us to "remember everything is double." "Joubert speaks in whispers," Auster writesEnjoy.. For this quality production and book size, the price is astoundingly low.. I like this book. I still read it and refer to it. I guess great if you are proficient in the French language. A must-have for serious collectors of Indonesian and Malaysian Borneo art. Poetry is in these aphorisms but it is good poetry.The original English translations of this work published a century ago were great, but the young Paul Auster's translations makes these even more profound and eloquent. Thanks Mr. Full of great photos with concise explanations. Those guys write ecstatically and are often overly verbose, often unfocused. Super interesting panorama about museology panorama that reflects and social statements for the world today. The best interior design books out there!!!I always look forward to the next issue.. Evans the historian studied in great detail the lives of Joubert's famous contemporaries in previous biographies (like the young Chateaubriand), and to my mind she interpolates the life, moods, professional life, love life and family life of Joubert here, amidst the Revolution and Terror. Honored to post the first review here of it.Maybe the most artful of the aphorists, Joubert doesn't seem esoteric, mysterious or contrived like Emerson or Maeterlinck arAll the entries are dated, but the notebooks cannot be construed as a traditional diary, since there are scarcely any personal remarks in it. He was something far more oblique and challenging, a writer who spent his whole life preparing himself for a work that never came to be written, a writer of the highest rank who paradoxically never produced a book."— Paul Auster"He was one of the first completely modern writers, preferring the center to the sphere, sacrificing results to the discovery of other conditions, and writing not in order to add one book to another but to take command of the point from which it seemed to him all books issued…"— Maurice Blanchot . "Neither a poet nor a novelist, neither a philosopher nor an essayist, Joubert was a man of letters without portfolio whose work consists of a vast series of notebook
. He published little during his lifetime, preferring to record his thoughts in his voluminous notebooks. Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) was a philosopher who associated with the leading French thinkers of his day. He lives with his wife and daughter in Brooklyn, NY. After Joubert’s death, his friend, Chateaubriand, distributed these writings, which won Joubert posthumous fame and influence.Paul Auster is the author of ten novels, most recently The Book of Illusions
