Description

"Sartor Resartus" is a satirical novel by Scottish author Thomas Carlyle. The book is divided into three sections, with the first section providing a biographical account of Teufelsdrockh's life and his philosophical ideas, which include a rejection of traditional morality and the importance of the individual's subjective experience.

The second section explores the symbolism and meaning behind clothing and fashion, using it as a metaphor for the ways in which people construct their identities and relationships with the world.

Finally, the third section, titled "The Everlasting No," addresses the idea of skepticism and doubt, arguing that questioning and rejecting established beliefs can lead to a more meaningful life.

Throughout the book, Carlyle employs a complex and sometimes obscure writing style, incorporating elements of poetry, philosophy, and history, and often satirizing the conventions of traditional narrative. "Sartor Resartus" has been praised for its innovative form and challenging ideas.
