    At the turn of the eighteenth century, a writer?a Jew?enters an English country manor, where he has been invited to read through the night to his host until the gentleman falls asleep. What unfolds then are seemingly unconnected stories covering a vast array of topics?from incest to madness to a poetic competition in the court of George III. And what emerges by the end is a breathtaking tapestry in which past and present, imagination and truth, are intricately woven together into one remarkable whole.

    Gabriel Josipovici, un dels més prestigiosos escriptors anglesos, ens proposa en aquesta ocasió que llegim només per diversió. Com si juguéssim a una mena de Cluedo. Trobarem al baró, un home d’edat avançada amb una gran fortuna, a la seva esposa Espelth, una nerviosa dona que vol seguir sent rica, a Alphonse, un antic pallasso reconvertit en investigador privat que s’involucra en una trama d’espionatges creuats, a Isabelle, estudiant d’art que, gràcies als seus encants, s’aprofita de tots els homes amb qui es creua, i una intricada xarxa d’enganys, xantatges, robatoris i plans d’assassinat. Amb aquests elements i la qualitat literària de Josipovici ens espera una gran lectura, i segur que alguna cosa més que simple diversió.Gabriel Josipovici va néixer a Niça el 1940.

    In this brilliant new book, a preeminent literary thinker muses over the central question of how we can feel at home in the world, given that the world is independent of and indifferent to our wishes. Drawing on books and films, cultural history and his own experiences, Gabriel Josipovici argues that it is possible to feel comfortable in the world and in our relationships with others only if we value touch over sight, if we respect distance but also work to overcome it.Josipovici moves from a Charlie Chaplin movie to passages from Proust, from the world of sport to the world of addiction, from medieval pilgrimages to the cult of relics, from a wedding photograph of his grandparents to some of Chardin's most enigmatic paintings. Through these seemingly disparate topics he provides engaging and wise commentary on connection and communication in life. Contrasting the senses of sight and touch, Josipovici notes that although sight seems to give us the totality of what we behold, it is only when we walk or feel our way across the distances that things become more than images and begin to constitute the world in which we as touchers and not mere observers are included. If we depend on sightwhich seems to offer a frictionless domination over realitywe may avoid the pains and uncertainties of living, but we also lose our involvement with life.Lucid, imaginative, and daring, Josipovici's book will inspire and, yes, deeply touch us all.

    William Shakespeare'sA Hamlet is probably the best-known and most commented upon work of literature in Western culture. The paradox is that it is at once utterly familiar and strangely elusive-very like our own selves, argues Gabriel Josipovici in this stimulating and original study. Moreover, our desire to master this elusiveness, to "e;pluck the heart out of its mystery,"e; as Hamlet himself says, precisely mirrors what is going on in the play; and what Shakespeare's play demonstrates is that to conceive human character (and works of art) in this way is profoundly misguided. A Rather than rushing to conclusions or setting out a theory of what Hamlet is "e;about,"e; therefore, we should read and watch patiently and openly, allowing the play to unfold before us in its own time and trying to see each moment in the context of the whole. Josipovici's valuable book is thus an exercise in analysis which puts the physical experience of watching and reading at the heart of the critical process-at once a practical introduction to a great and much-loved play and a sophisticated intervention in some of the key questions of theory and aesthetics of our time.
