'A problem of space first of all, then a problem of order'

One of the most singular and extravagant imaginations of the twentieth century, the novelist and essayist Georges Perec was a true original who delighted in wordplay, puzzles, taxonomies and seeing the extraordinary in the everyday. In these virtuoso writings about books and language, he discusses different ways of reading, a list of the things he really must do before he dies and the power of words to overcome the chaos of the world.

One of twenty new books in the bestselling Penguin Great Ideas series. This new selection showcases a diverse list of thinkers who have helped shape our world today, from anarchists to stoics, feminists to prophets, satirists to Zen Buddhists.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Georges Perec

Georges Perec (1936-1982) foi um destacado romancista, cineasta e ensaísta francês. Filho de judeus polacos assassinados por nazis, encontrou na literatura e na psicanálise refrigério para os seus traumas de sobrevivente. Depois de estudos em Sociologia e História na Sorbonne, estreou-se na ficção com As Coisas (1965), e o êxito de A Vida — Modo de Usar (Prémio Médicis, 1978) fê-lo dedicar-se exclusivamente à escrita. Em 1967, passou a integrar o OuLiPo, de Raymond Queneau, grupo dedicado à experimentação e à procura de novas formas literárias. «Personalidade ímpar», segundo Italo Calvino, Georges Perec é um dos escritores mais originais e ecléticos do século XX.
