| Publisher Description: Devoted to the art of creativity, to the analysis of the creative act, Valery was recognized as the greatest intellectual figure of the twentieth century. This is a book of conversations, an intimate reading of texts attempting to absorb their insights, their elegance and their tones. Reading Valery is an aesthetic experience, a feeling linking the reader to the finesse of thinking. This is the second volume of the author's Paul Valery studies. The first volume was published by Peter Lang in 1987." |
