SUMMARY
Aristotle wrote that we work in order to have leisure. But is the leisure that Aristotle spoke of--the freedom to do nothing--the same as the leisure we look forward to each weekend? With fascinating anecdotal detail, Rybczynski unfolds the history of leisure from ancient Rome to the Enlightenment to today, explores the origins of the week and the weekend, and illuminates its profound influences on our lives.Rybczynski, Witold is the author of 'Waiting for the Weekend', published 1992 under ISBN 9780140126631 and ISBN 0140126635.
