This guide finds melancholy within the work of writers such as W. G. Sebald and Jean-Paul Sartre, the art of photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto and multi-media artist Gerhard Richter, the films of Andrei Tarkovsky and Patrick Keiller, the music of Erik Satie and Tom Waits, the architecture and landscapes of ruins, and the 21st century's predilection for memorials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacky Bowring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843446235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843446231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oldcastle Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jacky Bowring","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938918891775,"sku":"9781843446231","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f24cfd4a-5722-407c-b9a7-7151cd75d0a1.jpg?v=1681438448","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-field-guide-to-melancholy-jacky-bowring-9781843446231","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
