Product Description
On Consolation: Finding Solace in Dark Times
Author: Michael Ignatieff
Format: Paperback
Historian of ideas Michael Ignatieff explores how people have sought solace in the face of loss, defeat and catastrophe, and asks how we might console one another in a secular age. Ranging across writers, artists and musicians — from the books of Job and Psalms to Albert Camus, Anna Akhmatova and Primo Levi — he recreates the moments when great figures found the courage to face their fate, and argues that these older traditions of consolation can still speak to the uncertainties of the present.
