Sartor Resartus: The Life And Opinions Of Herr Teufelsdrockh is a philosophical novel written by Scottish author Thomas Carlyle in 1836. The book is a satirical commentary on the society and culture of the time and is presented as a fictional biography of a German philosopher named Diogenes Teufelsdrockh. The title, Sartor Resartus, is Latin for The Tailor Retailored and refers to the idea of reconstructing oneself and one's beliefs.The novel is divided into three books, with the first book focusing on the life of Teufelsdrockh and his upbringing in a small German town. The second book explores his philosophical beliefs, including his rejection of traditional religion and his embrace of a clothes philosophy that sees clothing as a metaphor for the human condition. The third book deals with Teufelsdrockh's search for meaning and purpose in life, ultimately leading to his acceptance of a spiritual philosophy.Throughout the novel, Carlyle employs a unique writing style that includes a blend of fictional narrative, philosophical discourse, and satirical commentary. The book has been praised for its innovative approach to storytelling and its insightful commentary on the human condition. It has also been criticized for its dense and difficult prose, which can be challenging for some readers.Overall, Sartor Resartus: The Life And Opinions Of Herr Teufelsdrockh is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a unique perspective on philosophy, spirituality, and the human experience.In Three Books.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
