Sitwell, one of the most eclectic and prolific minds of twentieth-century British letters, chronicles a lifetime of aesthetic experience — drawing from art, music, architecture, and memory — as he navigates the shadowed corridors of human consciousness and the passage of time itself.\n\nThis first volume establishes the grand design of a work that is simultaneously a memoir and an elegy, a celebration of beauty and a reckoning with mortality. Sitwell's prose, luminous and richly allusive, argues that the arts are not mere ornament but the very architecture of civilised life, and his command of detail — from Baroque churches to the fleeting sensation of a recalled melody — transforms each page into a quietly astonishing act of remembrance. For readers who savour the essayistic tradition of Ruskin or the cultural grandeur of Osbert Sitwell's own memoirs, this volume is an invitation into a world of rarefied sensibility — one that leaves the reader wondering what further revelations await in the volumes still to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203393822939,"sku":"2026200013620-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c1313489-ecf2-44e8-a788-cc0771518999.png?v=1788148483","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013620-secondhand-journey-to-the-ends-of-time-volume-i-lost-in-the-dark-wood","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
