Product Information: - Title of Product: The Agony of Eros [Royal Edition] Author: Han, Byung-Chul Badiou, Alain Number of Pages: 88 Publication Year: 2017 Language: English Book Synopsis: - An argument that love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other.Byung-Chul Han is one of the most widely read philosophers in Europe today, a member of the new generation of German thinkers that includes Markus Gabriel and Armen Avanessian. In The Agony of Eros, a bestseller in Germany, Han considers the threat to love and desire in today's society. For Han, love requires the courage to accept self-negation for the sake of discovering the Other. In a world of fetishized individualism and technologically mediated social interaction, it is the Other that is eradicated, not the self. In today's increasingly narcissistic society, we have come to look for love and desire within the "inferno of the same." Han offers a survey of the threats to Eros, drawing on a wide range of sources--Lars von Trier's film Melancholia, Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, Fifty Shades of Grey, Michel Foucault (providing a scathing critique of Foucault's valorization of power), Martin Buber, Hegel, Baudrillard, Flaubert, Barthes, Plato, and others. Han considers the "pornographication" of society, and shows how pornography profanes eros; addresses capitalism's leveling of essential differences; and discusses the politics of eros in today's "burnout society." To be dead to love, Han argues, is to be dead to thought itself. Concise in its expression but unsparing in its insight, The Agony of Eros is an important and provocative entry in Han's ongoing analysis of contemporary society.This remarkable essay, an intellectual experience of the first order, affords one of the best ways to gain full awareness of and join in one of the most pressing struggles of the day: the defense, that is to say--as Rimbaud desired it--the "reinvention" of love.--from the foreword by Alain Badiou Product Description: This exquisite book is crafted exclusively for discerning readers and collectors who seek to elevate and preserve their literary treasures.

This is a beautiful, high-quality bound book. It is a trade paperback in terms of the paper stock, but the work they have done on it makes the final product truly special. It arrived very well packaged and in excellent condition. The seller was particularly attentive and supportive, ensuring the book could be delivered even after some difficulty due to my own work scheduling. They truly went above and beyond in getting the book to me, with excellent customer service alongside the beautiful book.
I've ordered from this seller before, and would definitely consider doing so again. If you're looking for a hard to find or out-of-print title in hardback, then they are a very good option. The books look nice, exactly as in the illustrative photos, and you can choose from a range of options for the binding. They look very nice on the shelf. Considering the distance they travel, they arrive quickly, and are well packaged. No complaints whatsoever!
Yet another beautiful, well produced and high quality book from this seller. I really have nothing but high praise for the seller. Once the books are made they arrive very quickly and are well protected for the journey. They always arrive in top condition. Any requests are dealt with quickly and communication is always courteous. I am choosing my next books to be made as we speak. Many thanks as always
