One of the most significant literary personalities in the world.Italo CalvinoGeorges Perec, author of the highly acclaimed Life: A Users Manual, was only fortysix when he died in 1982. Despite a tragic childhood, during which his mother was deported to Auschwitz, Perec produced some of the most entertaining essays of the age. His literary output was deliberately varied in form and style and this generous selection of Perecs nonfictional work, the first to appear in English, demonstrates his characteristic lightness of touch, wry humor, and accessibility.As he contemplates the many ways in which we occupy the space around us, as he depicts the commonplace items with which we are familiar in a startling, engrossing way, as he recounts his psychoanalysis while remaining reticent about his feelings or depicts the Paris of his childhood without a trace of sentimentality, we become aware that we are in the presence of a remarkable, virtuoso writer.

I love the idea of this collection, but my copy arrived with a damaged cover. The essays seem interesting, but it just took away from the experience for me. I expected better quality from Penguin Classics.

Thought-Provoking Collection
I picked up 'Species of Spaces and Other Pieces' for my book club, and it sparked some really deep discussions! The essays are beautifully written and the Penguin Classics edition feels nice in hand. Highly recommend for anyone into philosophical reads.

Beautiful Edition, But
The cover design of this Penguin Classics edition is stunning! However, I found the print a bit small for my liking, making it tough to read for long periods. Still, I appreciate the content and depth of thought in the writing.

Perfect Gift for Literature Lovers
I bought this book as a gift for my sister who adores classic literature. She was thrilled with the Penguin Classics branding and the collection itself sparked her interest in philosophical essays. Great job!

Great but a bit dense
I love the Penguin Classics line, but this one was a little harder to get through than I expected. Some essays were fascinating, but others felt too convoluted. Still worth a read if you’re into experimental literature.
