A NEW SERIES OF BEAUTIFUL PAPERBACK CLASSICS FROM DISTINGUISHED EUROPEAN WRITERS TO CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING Thierry Paquot argues the case for those few snatched moments of rest taken during the day. Whether as a heavy sleep or a five-minute doze the siesta offers a pause for breath in a hectic schedule. More than that it represents an art of living and an assertion of human autonomy in an increasingly globalized culture. A series of lively vignettes on the siesta in painting literature and philosophy adds to the argument in favour of this delightful habit.
