«El placer de cada día» is the philosophy and spirituality essay by Thomas Moore, published by Ediciones B in paperback (380 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from today's «disenchanted» world, Moore proposes recovering an innocent gaze toward the everyday: the aroma of coffee, a landscape from the window, the table, clothing, or architecture. That attention to small details returns the soul to personal and collective life, because from small pleasures great feelings are born.
The Spanish edition was released on April 10, 1997 and corresponds to The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life, originally published in 1996.
For readers of spirituality, psychology, and practical philosophy who want to reflect on the value of small everyday moments.
Thomas Moore was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist, widely regarded in his lifetime as Ireland's "national bard". The acclaim rested primarily on the popularity of his Irish Melodies. In these, Moore set to old Irish tunes verses that spoke to a narrative of Irish dispossession, loss, and resistance. With his romantic work Lalla Rookh (1817), in which these same themes are explored in an elaborate orientalist allegory, Moore achieved wider critical recognition. Translated into several languages, and adapted and arranged for musical performance by, among others, Robert Schumann, the chivalric verse-narrative established Moore as one of the leading exemplars of European romanticism.
