Description
"Quelles blessures ont inspiré au jeune Vivien de Lynden, nouvel enfant du siècle obsédé par la décadence de l'Occident, son apocalyptique manuscrit Le Grand Déplacement? Pour faire publier ce brûlot, la mère du jeune auteur s'adresse à un écrivain, ami de Gabriel Osmonde. Ce dernier, que Vivien s'était choisi pour maître à penser, porte sur le monde un regard plus profondément désenchanté que le jeune néo-hussard brûlé au feu de son idéalisme. Et voilà que cette femme, revenue de toutes les utopies humanitaires les plus valorisantes, guettée par un vide existentiel dont le suicide lui semble l'unique issue, comprend qu'il faut sortir du jeu, quitter la scène où tout le monde joue faux, tiraillé par la peur de manquer et la panique de la mort. Une autre voie est possible. Une autre vie aussi. Chacun n'a-t-il pas droit à sa "troisième naissance", au-delà des frontières que l'on assigne à l'humaine condition?"--Back cover.
Description
What wounds inspired the young Vivien de Lynden, new child of the century obsessed by the decadence of the West, his apocalyptic manuscript The Great Displacement? To make publish this fire, the mother of the young author addresses a writer, friend of Gabriel Osmonde. The latter, whom Vivien had chosen as master of thought, deals with the world with a look more deeply disenchanted than the young neo-hussard burnt in the fire of his idealism. And now this woman, back from all the most rewarding humanitarian utopias, looking for an existential emptiness whose suicide seems to her the only way out, understands that we have to get out of the game, leave the stage where everyone is playing wrong, torn by the fear of missing and the panic of death. Another way is possible. Another life too. Does not everyone have the right to his "third birth", beyond the boundaries that are assigned to the human condition?
