<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Henri Lefebvre's magnum opus: a monumental exploration of contemporary society. <p/>Henri Lefebvre's three-volume <i>Critique of Everyday Life</i> is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century's greatest philosophers. Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, the <i>Critique</i> was a philosophical inspiration for the 1968 student revolution in France and is considered to be the founding text of all that we know as cultural studies, as well as a major influence on the fields of contemporary philosophy, geography, sociology, architecture, political theory and urbanism. A work of enormous range and subtlety, Lefebvre takes as his starting-point and guide the "trivial" details of quotidian experience: an experience colonized by the commodity, shadowed by inauthenticity, yet one which remains the only source of resistance and change. <p/>This is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A savage critique of consumerist society."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"One of the great French intellectual activists of the twentieth century."--David Harvey <p/>"The last great classical philosopher."--Fredric Jameson<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Henri Lefebvre</b> (1901-1991), former resistance fighter and professor of sociology at Strasbourg and Nanterre, was a member of the French Communist Party from 1928 until his expulsion in 1957.
