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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Berger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45619218513967,"sku":"9781804298237","price":1877.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9781804298237.jpg?v=1784130337","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/bentos-sketchbook-the-essential-john-berger","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
