{"product_id":"aura-last-essays","title":"Aura: Last Essays","description":"\u003cp\u003eCultural Writing. Essays. Literary Criticism. Gustaf Sobins final book of essays continues his meditations on the meaning of archaeological vestiges in the south of France. Sobins writing synthesizes insights from anthropology, philosophy, theology, and the history of art to produce a spiritual and poetic travelogue through vanished time. Left uncompleted at the end of his life, the present volume would have concluded the trilogy whose first two volumes were published by University of California Press (Luminous Debris [1999] and Ladder of Shadows [2008]). The scope and ambition of Sobins poetic archaeology can be compared only to Walter Benjamins Arcades project, also left uncompleted, and which similarly sought to draw poetic and philosophical insights from the remnants of material culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Counterpath","offers":[{"title":"Sobin, Gustaf \/ paperback","offer_id":47845863489781,"sku":"DADAX1933996102","price":34.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/51EnqvbRD5L_bae6ae90-98fb-4457-b1a1-0718e797b09b.jpg?v=1773829346","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/aura-last-essays","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
