All Rights Reserved 1 alternate | English | Description provided by Bowker | score: 4 '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) Finnish | Primary description for language | score: 1
