Of letting go each responsibility and cutting every tie. And I know Im not the only one. But, when I learnt about the creative figures who left their lives behind, I began to ask myself: what is gained and what is lost when we withdraw from the world?</em></p><p>To answer this question, Guy Stagg tells the story of three of the twentieth centurys most original minds: the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, the poet and painter David Jones, and the writer Simone Weil. All three went on retreat during times of crisis, to find their work and their lives changed for ever. Seeking to understand these experiences, Stagg follows Wittgenstein to the ancient monastery outside Vienna where he recovered from depression, sails to the isolated island off the Welsh coast where Jones discovered a new way to make art, and spends Lent at the forbidding French Abbey that sparked an epiphany in Weils thinking.</p><p><em>The World Within</em> blends a moving personal account with history, biography and travel, offering a profound exploration of the impulse to withdraw. It asks why retreat still enchants people to this day and hints at how each one of us can find a sanctuary of our own.</p>...6415544The World Within492492https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-world-within-9781398533929/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6277083/image.jpg?v=638848188052870000InStockMXN99999PR_DIAudiolibro20259781398533929_W3siaWQiOiI1ZDI3ZDk5Zi1kNThjLTQ4MzUtOTg3MS0zMzY1NGJkMDNjMDEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ4MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NDgwLCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOnRydWUsImlzRWxpZ2libGVGb3JDcmVkaXRUcmlhbCI6dHJ1ZSwiY3JlZGl0UHVyY2hhc2VQcmljZSI6MX1d9781398533929_<p><strong>What value does solitude bring to the creative mind? How can withdrawing from the world help us endure in times of crisis?</strong></p><p>As an author himself, Guy Stagg has long been fascinated by the role that retreat plays in the lives of writers and artists. Determined to see if seclusion could help his own work, he decided to follow in the footsteps of three seminal figures of the twentieth century: Ludwig Wittgenstein, David Jones and Simone Weil.</p><p>Beautifully written and researched, THE WORLD WITHIN sees Stagg trace each of their journeys to isolation, hoping to see what they saw. He shadows Wittgenstein to the monastery outside Vienna where he worked as a gardeners assistant, and sails to the forbidding holy island off the Welsh coast where Jones immersed himself in his art. He visits the Solesmes Abbey in France that Weil found so transformative, and travels to Norway to stay in Wittgensteins famous, rustic lake cabin. With an eye for natural beauty and sharp social observation, Stagg mediates on these landscapes and communities, seeking to understand their power.</p><p>Effortlessly weaving together biography, history, travel and criticism, THE WORLD WITHIN illuminates the worth of retreat in this crowded day and age, and the ways in which solitude can help us connect with ourselves. It is an account of creation and crisis, drawing a parallel with Staggs own personal experiences, and casting new light on the lives of three of the most important thinkers of our age.</p>...9781398533929_Simon & Schuster UKaudiolibro_9781398533929_9781398533929Guy StaggInglésMéxico2025-06-05T00:00:00+00:00NoMINUTE2025-06-05T00:00:00+00:00Simon & Schuster UK
