Sartor Resartus (Ukemi Audiobooks) - Thomas Carlyle by Unknown, Thomas Carlyle
Sartor Resartus is one of the most unusual, even quirky, British novels to emerge from the first half of the 19th century. Published in 1836, its varied heritage reflects the earlier eccentricities of Sterne and Swift, curiously mixed with influences from Goethe., Its subject matter is strange: it concerns a book called Clothes: Their Origin and Influence by one Diogenes Teufelsdrckh, a German philosopher. And though Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) became a household name in his lifetime, especially for his essays, and his work as an historian and philosopher, his comic novel Sartor Resartus would prove to have a lasting effect on contemporary writers. American figures in particular - Emerson, Dickinson, Melville and Twain among them - acknowledged its influence., In addition, Jorge Luis Borges was among the 20th-century writers to salute the work, which he encountered aged 17. Borges reflects: I read Sartor Resartus, and I can recall many of its pages; I know them by heart. Sartor Resartus
