Book Description

Translated by J.A. Underwood. A collection of essays on the arts (e.g. Chagall, Monet, Corti, Segal), literature (e.g. Rimbaud, Eluard, Poe, Balzac), and critical principles. Bachelard "speaks of a living world . . . companionable, complete, dense, and enveloping . . . of the gold of alchemy and soft or fat monstrosities, of swamps, of the shapes of things, of Chillida's iron and Monet's water lilies." - Mary Vernon. "Gaston Bachelard provides in his Air and Dreams a soaring account of the cultural oneirism of air. For Bachelard, air signifies reach, sweep, aspiration and eminence. What he calls the dream of air dreams dream itself, in its Romantic aspect as the faculty of yearning, as we say, longing, of the imagination stretching to go beyond itself." - Steven Connor.
