Description & Specifications

At the dawn of a new millennium, our world reveals its tragic face once again. The collapse of "existing socialism." The Twin Towers. The global dominance of an uncontrollable capitalism. Economic crises. Terrorism. Ecological disaster...

How did the world arrive here, which promised so much? Are the crises that strike us a unique one, stemming from the hubris of today’s man, that is, all of us – an anthropological crisis?

This question haunts the author as he wanders through the cities of our world, witnessing the transformation of man into machine, the citizen into consumer, the traveler into tourist, the immigrant into refugee... How can democratic values not be undermined in favor of authoritarian regimes?

The book at hand does not advocate any ideology nor does it propose solutions. What you will read here is an imperfect mosaic reflecting the fragmented world we live in, for which no definitive judgment is legitimate.

Nothing more than an invitation to dialogue in times of parallel monologues: a letter that the author addresses to every reader, expecting them to discuss it, critique it, counter it, and above all, to complete it.

The aim: a collective creation that may help us to understand more deeply where we come from, where we stand, and where we are going, in order to live a life more worthy of being experienced.
