181pages. 14,0cm x 20,5cm x 1,9cm. broché. L'ignorance, ici, ne fait pas allusion aux lacunes de la connaissance, mais précisément aux côtés inconnus de la nature humaine, qui ne se révèlent pas dans la fadeur du quotidien, cachés qu'ils sont derrière le rideau de la normalité, mais qui surgissent au grand jour dans des situations historiques exceptionnelles -comme la période de la Terreur sous la Révolution française. Milan Kundera s'interroge sur la mémoire, et surtout sur l'oubli, qui à ses yeux prend le pas sur le travail de la mémoire. Ce roman est, à l'instar des trois précédents, écrit directement en français. Du même auteur: L'Identité; La Lenteur.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: NEUF. "Sur l'avenir, tout le monde se trompe. L'homme ne peut être sûr que du moment présent. Mais est-ce bien vrai ? Peut-il vraiment le connaître, le présent ? Est-il capable de le juger ? Bien sûr que non. Car comment celui qui ne connaît pas l'avenir pourrait-il comprendre le sens du présent ? Si nous ne savons pas vers quel avenir le présent nous mène, comment pourrions-nous dire que ce présent est bon ou mauvais, qu'il mérite notre adhésion, notre méfiance ou notre haine ?" - Nombre de page(s) : 180 p. - Poids : 0g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature française Romans Nouvelles Correspondance.
