The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990

The Diary of Edward the Hamster 1990-1990, translated from the original Hamster by Miriam and Ezra Elia, 83 pages

In this slim volume, Edward the Hamster, a philosopher on par with Sartre, Kierkegaard and the other great existentialists, considers the nature of life, death and captivity. His diary entries explore the absurdity of repetition, the oppression inherent in residing in a panoptic prison and the dialectical nature of captivity and freedom. Will the world ever know another mind as great as that which belonged to Edward? Bien sûr que non!

Recommended for: philosophes, thinkers, artists and hamster-owners.
