Une anthologie sur le temps
The publishing house Citadelles & Mazenod has released a new anthology titled "Écrire le temps. De l’Antiquité à nos jours" (Writing Time: From Antiquity to the Present Day). Edited by Pascal Dethurens, the 480-page volume compiles a vast array of literary sources on the concept of time, from ancient thinkers to contemporary writers, and pairs these texts with a wide variety of artistic representations.
The book represents a significant contribution to art publishing, offering a high-quality, collectible volume that bridges literature and visual art. Its publication matters as it provides a curated, physical resource for contemplating a timeless human obsession, contrasting with the fast-paced digital age. The work underscores the enduring role of specialized art publishers in producing substantive, tactile objects for study and reflection.
