Sommario/riassunto

Parce que les hommes racontent pour laisser des traces et ne pas mourir, ils tentent sans cesse d’abolir le temps. Tentative magnifique qui, même si elle est vouée à l’échec, donne à la littérature occidentale



ses plus grands récits. Des aventures de Don Juan aux voyages de Gulliver en passant par la quête abyssale de Melville, le drame faustien, l’épopée moderne de Joyce et la Recherche de Proust - pour ne citer que quelques-uns des trésors présentés dans cet ouvrage -, ce qui traverse toute notre littérature, c’est ce désir sans cesse renouvelé des hommes d’aller sans trêve d’un objet à l’autre, dans l’oubli d’eux-mêmes.  Chaque œuvre qui traverse les siècles échappe à l’époque qui l’a vue naître. Tous les grands récits du Temps aboli sont donc contemporains les uns des autres et ils appartiennent à tous les temps. Comme dans Raconter et mourir, dont cet ouvrage constitue la suite, chaque chapitre peut se lire comme un tout, au gré de la fantaisie du lecteur.
