About This Item

Ithaca, New York, U.S.A.: Cornell Univ Pr, 2004. Ithaca: Cornell University, 2004. First edition in English, translated from the German by Steven Randall. Quarter cloth, 254 pp. including index. This is an exploration of the art of forgetting as the counterpart of the rhetorical art of memory in Western culture from the Greeks to the present. Harald Weinrich analyzes works by such authors as St. Augustine, Borges, Plato, Cervantes, Dante, Proust, Freud, Homer, Nietzsche, and Wiesel. What emerges is a general view of forgetting that combines a recognition of its inevitability with a critique of forgetting (particularly in the case of the Holocaust) and the need to resist it. Weinrich’s epilogue considers forgetting in the present age of information overflow. New in new dust jacket, protected with a mylar cover.. First Edition in English. Hard Cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
