L'art de mourir

Synopsis of L'art de mourir

«L'art de mourir» is the essay on death and spirituality by Marie de Hennezel and Jean-Yves Leloup (Robert Laffont, paperback, 219 pages).

The book starts from an evidence as simple as it is hard to accept: we are alive and therefore mortal. It addresses the taboo surrounding death in today's society and, drawing on religious traditions and a humanist spirituality, invites a serene approach to the end of life, with contributions from psychology, philosophy and theology.

The full subtitle is «Traditions religieuses et spiritualité humaniste face à la mort aujourd'hui». French edition in the Aider la Vie collection from Robert Laffont.

For those seeking a serene reflection on death and for people involved in caring for the terminally ill.
