The result was a discursive, mischievous memoir \u003cem\u003eVoyage Around My Room\u003c\/em\u003e, and its sequel, \u003cem\u003eNocturnal Expedition Around My Room\u003c\/em\u003e. Admired by Nietzsche and Machado de Assis, Ossian and Susan Sontag, this classic book proves that sitting on the living-room sofa can be as fascinating as crossing the Alps or paddling up the Amazon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the \u003cem\u003eVoyage\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eExpedition\u003c\/em\u003e, this edition also includes the dialogue \"The Leper of the City of Aosta,\" a preface by Xavier's better-known older brother (the royalist philosopher Joseph de Maistre), and an introduction by Richard Howard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 244\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.9 x 4.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 21, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757726105888,"sku":"9780811222105","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/66a2da3d630ecf0bebc16cf8acc67899.webp?v=1780110189","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/voyage-around-my-room-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
