LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Enzo Santacroce | Nietzsche, the multi-faceted philosopher, was as much reclaimed and hijacked by Nazi ideology as by the anarchist forces driving the students of May '68. How can we explain the fact that the thinking of this brilliant mind has been co-opted by both brown and red?

Under this identity, he published short stories and columns in "Le Nouveau Quotidien"—which became "Le Temps" after its merger with "Le Journal de Genève"—and a collection, "Le dessert indien" (1996).

Conceived as a series of interviews with journalist Jacques Poget, *Le Jardin des piqûres: A Centenarian’s Reflections on His Life, the Past Century, and the Days Ahead* offers us a true philosophy of life, shaped by the author’s own reading. An interview.

Catastrophism prevents us from thinking.

The great intellectual George Steiner died last February. An entire library burned with him. Fortunately, what remains are not just ashes, but a series of momentous works, rich interviews - and minds changed forever.

Can't life be reduced to the pleasures of the table?
