Book Description

August 1, 2008 Oxford World's Classics
Sartor Resartus ("The Tailor Retailored") is ostensibly an introduction to a strange history of clothing by the German Professor of Things in General, Diogenes Teufelsdrockh; its deeper concerns are social injustice, the right way of living in the world, and the large questions of faith and understanding. This is the first edition to present the novel as it originally appeared, with indications of the changes Carlyle made to later editions.

About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Sophisticated and Thought-Provoking Masterpiece, December 3, 2009
By 
This review is from: Sartor Resartus (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
This book is, quite simply, unlike anything else I have ever read. Gems of transcendental philosophy embedded within the quirky story of a German professor, his existential crisis and discursive volume on the "philosophy of clothes".

You may be frustrated by this book if you don't realize the following things: It was originally serialized in a magazine, and can be read as a collection of short essays rather than a continuous narrative; not everything in it makes sense; it is, and is meant to be, funny.
