Thomas the ObscureBefore Sartre, before Beckett, before Robbe Grillet, Maurice Blanchot created the new novel, the ultimate post modern fiction. Written between 1932 and 1940, Blanchot's first novel, here brilliantly translated by Robert Lamberton, contains all the remarkable aspects of his famous and perplexing invention, the ontological narrative a tale whose subject is the nature of being itself. This paradoxical work discovers being in the absence of being, mystery

Before Sartre, before Beckett, before Robbe-Grillet, Maurice Blanchot created the new novel, the ultimate post-modern fiction. Written between 1932 and 1940, Blanchot's first novel, here brilliantly translated by Robert Lamberton, contains all the remarkable aspects of his famous and perplexing invention, the ontological narrative--a tale whose subject is the nature of being itself. This paradoxical work discovers being in the absence of being, mystery in the absence of mystery, both to be searched for limitlessly. As Blanchot launches this endless search in his own masterful way, he transforms the possibilities of the novel. First issued in English in 1973 in a limited edition, this re-issue includes an illuminating essay on translation by Lamberton.

This is an excellent eye lid moisturizer.
This is the mist soothing eye cream I have ever used! I have been applying it several times a day since I received it and the dryness is clearing up.

Best eye cream ever
I’m in my 40s and I’ve never been able to wear an eye cream without irritation. I also have eczema. I recently had extreme allergic reactions secondary to a house flood. this product was immediately calming producing reduction in itching redness, and scaliness within 24 hours. After a month, I have less fine lines and my eyelids are incredibly soft. I will absolutely buy this on repeat and I have few products I use often.

Absorbing moisture
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this lotion. It’s fragrance free, lightweight, absorbs well, not a thick lotion that sits on top of the skin but absorbs into the skin. Incredibly moisturizing and not irritating for sensitive skin. Great product!

My holy grail
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my favourite body lotion by far. I've been using it for over a year and there is comparison how it makes my skin feel - extremely soft and hydrated. The biggest difference i notice the next day - it feels just moisturized. I live in Colorado and in winter I used to wake up at night due to my skin being dry and itchy. Just hours after I applied lotion. Not with this one. It also absorbs very quickly. I've also been using on my face under sunscreen in the morning.

Helping my PR
Size: 10.14 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Helping my Pityriasis rosea! Redness going away and flare spots clearing up very quickly. I’ve had PR for about 6 months now and I haven’t had any other product help so much so fast. I think it’s mostly the niacin but this is a nice product.
