      Book Overview

      Henri Lefebvre's magnum opus: a monumental exploration of contemporary society. Henri Lefebvre's three-volume Critique of Everyday Life is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, the Critique was a philosophical inspiration for the 1968 student revolution in France and is considered to be the founding text of all that we know as cultural studies, as well as a major influence on the fields of contemporary philosophy, geography, sociology, architecture, political theory and urbanism. A work of enormous range and subtlety, Lefebvre takes as his starting-point and guide the "trivial" details of quotidian experience: an experience colonized by the commodity, shadowed by inauthenticity, yet one which remains the only source of resistance and change. This is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.

      The Perfect Anthology Analyzing Western Life from 1890 to 1980

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I am going on a reading binge before I take the GRE, and no series of books could be more perfect than this one. Lefebvre's long life from 1901 to 1991 has seen so much of life and analyzed the centuries authors, artists, and intellectual movements, that it allows one to briefly and concisely live the period through his thoughts. Also it does have so many useful GRE words to review while reading it.
