«Le Hêtre et le bouleau» is the essay by Camille de Toledo, published by Seuil in paperback (207 pages, in French).
The author reflects on how to abandon the twentieth century: the birch, tree of drama and silent witness to extermination, gives way to the beech, symbol of unease and enchantment. After a walk through reunified Berlin, he addresses European sadness and proposes a linguistic utopia to build a future not anchored in the horror of the past.
It belongs to the author's European trilogy, alongside «Vies potentielles» and «Oublier, trahir puis disparaître». It brings together «Essai sur la tristesse européenne» and «L’Utopie linguistique ou la pédagogie du vertige».
For readers of philosophical essays and those interested in European history and the memory of the twentieth century.
Camille de Toledo is a French writer and a visual artist.
