For the first time, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt confides in his readers, evoking his childhood with poignant sincerity, his many vocations, his life… Who was that little boy called Eric-Emmanuel, in Lyon in the 60s? What stories were already buzzing in his head? We discover his formative years, his environment, his dreams his regrets… The many intimate details he shares about his life, his values, his numerous activities, his take on the meaning of life, of art, make this book a truly exceptional and precious one. His readers – a vast number - will devour chapter after chapter to enter into the author’s most private existence. We get to know an author, a playwright, a philosopher: very different from the clichés some people hold. And so much more surprising.

Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is one of France’s most widely read and performed authors throughout the world. His plays have received several Molière awards and the Grand Prix du théâtre de l’Académie française. His books have been translated into 44 languages. Recent figures show him to be the author most frequently studied in secondary schools. In 2016, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt was unanimously elected member of the Goncourt jury. The impressive number of books he has written (Albin Michel) are all chart-topping best-sellers.

Two philosophers discuss the situation and the signification of art today: what the word means now and for the future, and – since it is far from being a word of the past – those things it leads us to think anew. Jean-Luc Nancy’s highly refined thoughts on the subject are resumed and further developed during a discussion with Jérôme Lèbre. They question the best way to grasp the engagement of the sensitive body in artistic activity and our approach to artworks, the relation between art and technique, art and history, its modulation into traditional and new forms and its position in relation to religion, politics and literature today.

Jean-Luc Nancy is one of Europe’s foremost philosophers and one of the most keenly read today. He has written about a hundred books, translated into several languages and reaching a wide, non-specialist audience, including professionals of the art world as well as simply art lovers.

Jérôme Lèbre is programme director at the Collège international de philosophie, where he holds a regular seminar on art, technique and politics. He has authored five books in which the themes of the Romantic heritage today, and the transformation of art, are constantly recurring. Their mutual interest on these topics led to his meeting with Jean-Luc Nancy.

SPIRITUALITY

“I no longer call you servants, I call you friends” (Jn15,15). In the Gospels, Jesus places friendship as the supreme value in human relations. Friendship, so rare and so important in our lives, has a very special meaning that defies all definition. Friendship is born of trust, familiarity and fraternity. Mgr. Jean-Paul Vesco, Prior Provincial of the Dominicans in France until he was named Bishop of the diocese of Oran (Algeria), bears witness to all the dimensions of friendship in our social relations, but also as believers. From the gospels to everyday friends in Algeria, in the footsteps of Mgr. Claverie, or commenting Amoris Laetita - Pope Francis’s most recent encyclical - Jean-Paul Vesco describes friendship as he found it; friendship that makes bonds between individuals, communities, peoples. Between man and God. An authentic confession.

Jean-Paul Vesco : the authors has been a lawyer during 7 years before taking holy orders in 1995. Appointed bishop of Oran in December 2012 by Benoit XVI and lives now in Algeria. He has published Tout amour véritable est indissoluble, plaidoyer pour les divorcés-remariés, éditions du Cerf.

“Speaking for myself, I have never sought proof of God’s existence, I don’t need it. But I have searched for evidence of his inexistence, and have never found any!” Poetry, inspiration and humour take pride of place in this quest-investigation by Marc-Alain Ouaknin. God is elusive. As the pages turn, the reader discovers in the manner of a fisherman: the wise man who casts his line again and again in his quest; patiently meditating, reflecting one image after another depending on chance meetings.

Marc-Alain Ouaknin, PhD, university professor (Associate Professor of the University Bar-Ilan in Israel), followed rabbinic studies. His work, at the crossroads of theology, philosophy and psychoanalysis, creates a dialogue between literature and contemporary thinking with texts from the Bible, the Midrash, the Talmud, the Kabbalah and Hassidism.
