Through the corridors, darkened corners, garrets and wardrobes, Bachelard constructs complex analogies between house and psyche, house and family structure, house and social environment, house and text, showing how a single intimate space can embody a universe. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/527377?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
