Product details

Marc Augé speaks of delicate moments of happiness, fleeting sensory impressions, and fragile memories. As an anthropologist of the moment, he traces the happy instances that defy all adversities and for which life is worth living—no matter how inconspicuous they may seem. Happiness has become a commodity, with many professionals attempting to create it: from the United Nations to tabloid media, happiness recipes are being circulated. Marc Augé, the wise elder ethnologist with a keen eye for what lies behind glossy facades, understands that such recipes for happiness are empty promises. He explores the significant and minor moments of humanity that make us unhappy. For the true moments of happiness are immaterial. It is precisely the unremarkable everyday experiences—a Swiss landscape, a French love song, an Italian pasta—that are treasures of memory. They reveal to us the meaning of life. Only when these fleeting moments of happiness have passed do we realize how necessary and valuable they are.
