{"product_id":"bentos-sketchbook-john-berger-9781804298237","title":"Bento's Sketchbook","description":"The seventeenth-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza (a.k.a. Bento) spent the most intense years of his short life writing. He also carried with him a sketchbook. After his sudden death, his friends rescued letters, manuscripts, notes—but no drawings.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;For years, without knowing what its pages might hold, John Berger has imagined finding Bento’s sketchbook, wanting to see the drawings alongside his surviving words. When one day a friend gave him a beautiful virgin sketchbook, Berger said, ‘This is Bento’s!’ and he began to draw, taking inspiration from the philosopher’s vision.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;In this beautifully illustrated book, Berger uses the imaginative space opened up in this experiment to explore politics, storytelling, Spinoza’s life and times, and the process of drawing itself.","brand":"Verso Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50022145982752,"sku":"9781804298237","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781804298237.jpg?v=1780926545","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/bentos-sketchbook-john-berger-9781804298237","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
