"Sartor Resartus" is a philosophical novel written by Thomas Carlyle and published in 1836. The title, Latin for "The Tailor Re-tailored, " reflects the book's central metaphor of reimagining and reevaluating life through a metaphorical tailor shop. The narrative is presented as a series of philosophical and satirical essays written by a fictional German professor, Diogenes Teufelsdröckh, who explores themes of spirituality, existentialism, and societal norms. Teufelsdröckh's musings encompass a wide range of topics, including the nature of truth, the significance of clothing as a metaphor for social identity, and the pursuit of inner enlightenment. The novel's unconventional style combines elements of fiction, autobiography, and philosophical treatise, challenging readers to contemplate the deeper meaning of existence and the human condition. "Sartor Resartus" remains a seminal work of 19th-century literature, admired for its innovative narrative techniques and profound insights into the complexities of life and consciousness.
