Synopsis
Homo Ludens or "Man the Player" (alternatively, "Playing Man") is a book written in 1938 by Dutch historian, cultural theorist and professor Johan Huizinga. It discusses the importance of the play element of culture and society. Huizinga uses the term "Play Theory" within the book to define the conceptual space in which play occurs. Huizinga suggests that play is primary to, and is a necessary (though not sufficient) condition of the generation of culture.

About Robert Pearson, Bookseller
I have been selling rare and used books since 1998. I carefully grade all my books, and have concern for the needs of both the collector of rare books and those wishing to purchase less common books at good prices.
