What enthusiasm for 2021?
Posted by Michel Morvan on
For many of us, 2020 has been a disruptive year , both personally and professionally. However, the more what happens to us affects us, surprises us and touches us, the more we think it is unique , exceptional , special ; the more it takes up all the space in our lives; the more we lock ourselves in it and see nothing else.
This year, more than others, it will be important to raise our heads and escape from this confinement created both by the exceptional situation and by our reaction to this situation.
How to do it? An excellent way could be to abandon oneself a little more to books , to make sparks fly from them, to use them to open up universes and to get out of our confinement , real or internal . Let us immerse ourselves or re-immerse ourselves in the texts of authors, great or small. Through their perceptions, their emotions, their sensations, their looks, their thoughts, we will embrace infinite worlds . We will raise our eyes to the immense richness of our condition , of the experiences that we can live, of the myriads of roads that open up before us. And there, we will be able to get out of our bubble and get excited again , whatever else is happening!
There are of course millions of books that you can choose from for this and not all of them, of course, are published by Chemins de tr@verse. But let us recommend one to you . A book that talks about writers and books, thus putting your search for enthusiasm in abyss, so to speak. In In absentia , Jean-Louis Coatrieux , a polymath if ever there was one, talks with Federico Garcia Lorca , Nazim Hikmet and Pablo Neruda . Authors who, according to him, "resist" , authors for whom "the world was not as it was, but as they wanted to create it, free, luminous, insolent" . Isn't that exactly what we need to get excited?
We wish you wonderful and exciting readings in 2021!
