"The Idler's Companion combines amusing tributes to relaxation with earnest pleas for self-examination. The essays, poetry, and fiction excerpts in this delightful anthology are filled with convincing arguments for reclaiming our days from the monotony of the working world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

'Matkaopas joutilaisuuteen esittelee maailmankirjallisuuden klassikoiden näkemyksiä laiskottelun tärkeydestä ja työnteon turhuudesta. Vai voisiko loikoilun kenties nähdä poikkeuksellisen pidättyväisenä tekona? Muiden muassa Aristoteles, Baudelaire, Roland Barthes, William Blake, Omar Khaijam, Laotse, Montaigne, Nietzsche, Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde ja Bertrand Russell ylistävät joutilaisuutta. Samalla moni heistä pohtii oleilun ja työnteon monimutkaista suhdetta.' -- (takakansi)
