Summary:
Catalyzed by the suicide of a poet after a conference on Walter Benjamin, three Benjamin specialists begin a hunt for his final manuscript.
Walter Benjamin, l'un des plus grands mythes intellectuels du vingtième siècle, est toujours parmi nous. Un groupuscule d'extrême gauche porte son nom et réalise des actions militantes énigmatiques, tandis qu'un poète se suicide à la BNF à la suite d'une conférence sur le penseur. Alertés par cette mort étrange, trois spécialistes de Benjamin se lancent à la recherche de son dernier manuscrit. Le trio nous entraîne dans une enquête vertigineuse, véritable labyrinthe de fragments, où à chaque nouvelle page se dessine un peu plus la figure de Walter Benjamin. Roman polyphonique virtuose, Le vingtième siècle donne à penser notre contemporanéité de manière singulière et originale, et à relire l'histoire du siècle passé comme celui dont Benjamin aurait été le héros. --Publisher's website.
Walter Benjamin, one of the greatest intellectual myths of the twentieth century, is still with us. A far-left group bears his name and carries out enigmatic militant actions, while a poet commits suicide at the BNF following a conference on the thinker. Alerted by this strange death, three Benjamin specialists set out to find his last manuscript. The trio takes us on a dizzying investigation, a veritable labyrinth of fragments, where with each new page the figure of Walter Benjamin takes shape a little more. A virtuoso polyphonic novel, The Twentieth Century makes us think about our contemporaneity in a singular and original way, and reread the history of the past century like the one of which Benjamin would have been the hero. --Publisher's website.
