Description
The Forgotten Sense: Meditations on Touch by Pablo Maurette explores the often-overlooked sense of touch in Western culture. Through six essays, Maurette delves into the multifaceted nature of touch, examining its role in our interactions with the world around us.
By drawing on a diverse range of cultural figures and historical references, Maurette sheds new light on the importance of tactile experience. This thought-provoking book offers an original perspective on the sense that links us most intimately to the world, from birth to death.
Ambitious in conception and written with literary flair, The Forgotten Sense is a reading experience like no other. It will help you appreciate touch in a new way and gain a deeper understanding of our interactions with the world around us.
