• A boarder for two years following a national funeral, Mirabeau is removed from the Pantheon and transferred to the cemetery of Clamart when his pornographic novels are discovered • A photograph taken by Hessling on Christmas night, 1943, of a young woman nailed alive to the village gate of Novimgorod; Hessling asks his friend Wolfgang Borchert to develop the film, look at the photograph, and destroy it • The Beautiful Gardener, a picture by Max Ernst, burned by the Nazis
—from The Missing Pieces
The Missing Pieces is an incantatory text, a catalog of what has been lost over time and what in some cases never existed. Through a lengthy chain of brief, laconic citations, Henri Lefebvre evokes the history of what is no more and what never was: the artworks, films, screenplays, negatives, poems, symphonies, buildings, letters, concepts, and lives that cannot be seen, heard, read, inhabited, or known about. It is a literary vanitas of sorts, but one that confers an almost mythical quality on the enigmatic creations it recounts—rather than reminding us of the death that inhabits everything humans create.
Lefebvre''s list includes Marcel Duchamp''s (accdidentally destroyed) film of Man Ray shaving off the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven''s pubic hair; the page written by Balzac on his deathbed (lost); Spinoza''s Treatise on the Rainbow (thrown into a fire); the final seven meters of Kerouac''s original typescript for On the Road (eaten by a dog); the chalk drawings of Francis Picabia (erased before an audience); and the one moment in André Malraux''s life in which he exclaimed “I believe, for a minute, I was thinking nothing.” The Missing Pieces offers a treasure trove of cultural and artistic detail and will entertain even those readers not enamored of the void.

Levering
Varerne sendes indenfor 1-6 hverdage. Den konkrete leveringstid står oplyst ved hver enkelt vare. Levering sker med PostNord eller DAO distribution. Vi leverer kun i Danmark og ikke til Grønland og Færøerne.
Vær opmærksom på, at DAO ofte leverer om natten, og at der ikke skal kvitteres for modtagelse af pakken fra DAO. Hvis ikke DAO kan levere pakken forsvarligt ved dør eller i postkasse,
