Comme un chant d'espérance

Synopsis of Comme un chant d'espérance

«Comme un chant d'espérance» is the philosophical essay by Jean d'Ormesson, published by Gallimard in paperback (122 pages, in French).

Starting from a walk through origins, the author reconstructs the history of the universe and, like a metaphysical detective, inquires with humour into the mystery of existence: how everything arises from nothing. A surprising and optimistic reflection on life, philosophy and cosmology.

The work was originally published in 2014; this pocket edition, in the Folio collection (no. 6014), is from 2015.
