Tuesday's books - Jonas Follonier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

French TV presenter Elisabeth Quin, who is also a writer, has dedicated her latest book, published in early 2019, to a hell she herself is going through: that of losing her sight. Extremely sensitive, this gem of a book has above all one great virtue: that of the direct truth of sensations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Elisabeth Quin has chosen one of the best literary and philosophical subjects of all: sight. After all, sight is the most spiritual of all senses. To see is to understand, to learn, to discover. Aristotle was the first to sense this and theorize about it. \u00abFelt\u00bb is the key to this book. Night rises<\/em> published earlier this year by Editions Grasset & Fasquelle. Elisabeth Quin - as you can see more than ever from this highly literary personal account - is a sensitive and, I'd go so far as to say, sensational person, thanks to her talent for send<\/em> sensations. By sensations, let's understand their primary meaning: sensitive impressions, i.e. coming directly from the five senses. As the author so aptly puts it, it's when one of these senses is lost that its importance takes on its full meaning. Night rises<\/em>, from start to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abSight is self-evident, until the day something goes wrong in this little seven-gram conjunctive and molecular cosmos, a perfect and miraculous object, requiring so little maintenance that we neglect it.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If people wearing sunglasses are for Elisabeth Quin - who comes across them in the street - a symbol of the world. \u00abdeplorable, heartbreaking look-alikes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and also Gilbert Montagn\u00e9\u00bb.\u00bb<\/em>, For her part, the author can be seen as a literary reincarnation of Michel Polnareff. When Polnareff was diagnosed with a double cataract, he, too, had to deal with an unpleasant experience. fear of going blind<\/a>. It was at the end of the eighties and the very beginning of the nineties, when the intriguing singer-songwriter had remained cloistered for eight hundred days at the palace Royal Monceau, composing and recording his album K\u00e2ma-S\u00fbtr\u00e2<\/em> with the nugget Goodbye Marylou<\/em>. There's no doubt that the tone and purpose of this admirable work owe part of their power to the malaise of a Polnareff tetanized by his failing eyesight, who had chosen to remain a hermit in this establishment after learning its contours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
