Dying of Thinking - The Last Kingdom IX
Published by Seagull Books London Ltd, GB, 2024
ISBN 10: 1803092424 ISBN 13: 9781803092423
Language: English
Hardback. Condition: New. A deeply contemplative work devoted to thinking from one of the foremost literary figures of contemporary France. Dying of Thinking is the ninth volume of Pascal Quignard's Last Kingdom series. It explores three themes: how thought and death coincide, how thought is close to melancholy, and how thought takes shelter near traumatism. One who thinks, Quignard shows us, "compensates" for a very ancient abandonment. Even as a dream is a meaning whose disorderly, condensed, paradoxical images intuit something which has preceded sleep and which returns in them, thought is a meaning which uses words that are written, re-transcribed, dissected, etymologized and neologized. Throughout the Last Kingdom series, Quignard has sought to experience another way of thinking, one that has nothing to do with philosophy, a way of attaching himself "literally" to texts and of progressing by decomposing the imagery of dreams. Dying of Thinking is the heart of this quest.

Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. A captivating and wide-ranging interpretation of accidental dismounting. In Pascal Quignard's writing, philology hunts for wild game in a dark forest. The Unsaddled, which features horses as its central figure, is no exception. Taking off from puns, multifarious imagery, and metaphorical meanings-"to be baffled," "to be thrown"-that the book's title provides, Quignard focuses on life-changing moments. We meet George Sand (whose father died after being thrown from his horse), Saint Paul, Abelard, Agrippa d'Aubigné, and countless other writers, philosophers, theologians, or kings who fell off their horses-not to forget Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was knocked over by a dog. Being "unsaddled" can also be associated, as Quignard shows in regard to Nietzsche, with an "overturning" of values. Scenes of war, hunting, "fleeing" or sexuality-"When lovers have a horse ride, they gallop in another world"-come before our eyes, each time from those unsettling vantage points that Quignard knows how to find. As ever, he ranges far and wide in his intense quest, taking examples from across human history, from the neolithic age to his own childhood memories of postwar Le Havre in northern France.
