«En presencia de Schopenhauer» is the philosophical essay by Michel Houellebecq, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
The essay begins with the chance encounter of the young Houellebecq with a book of aphorisms by Schopenhauer, which the writer describes as a revelation and the discovery of a kindred spirit. From that reading, Houellebecq comments on passages from the philosopher's work and reflects on the perception of the world, artistic creation, the relevance of art, and the link between poetry and truth.
It belongs to the Nuevos cuadernos Anagrama collection (number 8). Translated from the French by Joan Riambau Möller; first edition 2018.
For readers of philosophical essays and followers of Houellebecq who want to approach his most reflective side and his connection with Schopenhauer.
