In this book, Massimo Recalcati explores the maternal figure beyond commonplaces and traditional representations. Through an analysis that integrates literary, cinematic, biblical, and clinical perspectives, the author examines the lights and shadows of motherhood, questioning concepts such as maternal instinct and analyzing the ambivalence of love, the importance of absence, and the legacy of the feeling of life. It is a profound work that seeks to do justice to the figure of the mother in the contemporary context.
The work offers a new interpretation of motherhood, highlighting that the maternal desire does not exhaust the woman's desire and that maternal care resists the neglect of our time. Recalcati invites us to reflect on the mother's face as the first face of the world, offering a renewed and necessary vision of affective bonds and the transmission of life.
