Houses and rooms cellars and attics drawers, chests, and wardrobes nests and shells nooks and corners: No space is too vast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries. Guiding us through a stream of meditations on poetry, art, and the blooming of consciousness itself, Bachelard examines the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories. This lyrical journey takes as its premise the emergence of the poetic image and finds an ideal metaphor in the intimate spaces of our homes. The rare work of irresistibly inviting philosophy, Bachelard s seminal work brims with quiet revelations and stirring, mysterious imagery.
