Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book is the autobiography - through the lens of poetry - of diplomat Stéphane Hessel, who navigated the 20th century as a courageous, sensitive man committed to defending human rights. In his advanced age, he decides to share the treasures accumulated and preserved in his memory, along with the memories and echoes attached to them. Stéphane Hessel shares eighty-eight poems - both well-known and lesser-known - from François Villon to Christian Planque, including Shakespeare, Hölderlin, Keats, Yeats, Rilke, Apollinaire, and others, which he once memorized and has never forgotten. One discovers, moved, why each of them played an important, even decisive, role throughout his life. Poetry as breath, poetry as backbone, poetry as necessity.
