{"product_id":"the-last-of-the-light-peter-davidson-9781780235103","title":"The Last of the Light: About Twilight","description":"Neither day nor night, twilight has long exerted a fascination for Western artists, thinkers, and writers, while haunting the Romantics and intriguing philosophers and scientists. In \u003ci\u003eThe Last of the Light\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Davidson takes readers through our culture's long engagement with the concept of twilight--from the melancholy of smoky English autumn evenings to the midnight sun of northern European summers and beyond. Taking in poets and painters, Victorians and Romans, city and countryside, and deftly combining memoir, literature, philosophy, and art history, Davidson shows how the atmospheric shadows and the in-between nature of twilight has fired the imagination and generated works of incredible beauty, mystery, and romance. Ambitious and brilliantly executed, this is the perfect book for the bedside table, richly rewarding and endlessly thought-provoking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Davidson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780235100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780235103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Peter Davidson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078624243967,"sku":"9781780235103","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7714807c-63cd-4ff7-9ab8-690af918e5d3.jpg?v=1685476567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-of-the-light-peter-davidson-9781780235103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
