T.S. Eliott [French]

By Giocanti-S

Here is the biography of a twentieth century giant - Nobel Prize winner, poet, critic, translator, publisher, cultural theoretician and man of faith - whose work and destiny shed light on the most tormenting questions about the future of civilisation.

Eliot, an American from Saint Louis, first sets foot in Europe in 1910 where he meets St phane Mallarm and Ezra Pound, and creates the magazine Criterion before arising as a world-renowned speaker, praising the resilience of the human spirit amidst the ruins of the Second World War. Forever misfortunate in love, this classical modern genius only ever desired to be but a simple parishioner.

All the philosophical, political and literary controversies of our recent history are present in their restitution of Eliot's enigmatic existence. St phane Giocanti has brought back Eliot at a time he is sorely needed.

Professor of literature, specialist of poetry and music, St phane Giocanti is the author of numerous essays, among which, Les enfants de l'Utopie.
