Cousu dans la peau de Kafka

David Berger

Le récit d’un universitaire qu’un testament inattendu arrache à la routine d’une vie incolore, à ses recherches sur Kafka, à l’internement social, moral et sensuel dans les salles de cours et à ce terrible encroûtement qui guette désormais les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales. Un personnage décadent pris dans le tournis d’un manège sentimental levantin qui le débusque de sa réclusion dans sa tour d’ivoire.

The Saying of Matanel

“…even though you do not hear it when a person takes one small step, when a hundred people move together – it makes noise, and when a million people move together – it shakes the world. So let’s make a movement together wholeheartedly, and it will shake the world.”

From a Rosh Hashana Talk by Rav Adin Steinsaltz Z"L
