CE Que Peut La Litterature [French]

By Alain Finkielkraut

Ce que peut la litt rature (What literature can do) is the first volume of a series which groups together the best broadcasts on literature from Radio France Culture's literary programme R pliques . The current collection's central theme is the power of literature: how can writers change the world, not in the sense intended by Sartre, that is, through their political involvement, but through their ability to reorganise our perception of the world and its creatures, our values, our present and our future. Through literature, it is thus our very existence that is transformed.

The book will be prefaced by an unpublished essay by Alain Finkielkraut.
