Massively erudite, the essays are also brave, unflinching, and wholly personal.</B><BR><BR>In this fiercely original and audacious work, George Steiner tells of seven books which he did not write. Because intimacies and indiscretions were too threatening. Because the topic brought too much pain. Because its emotional or intellectual challenge proved beyond his capacities.<BR><BR>The actual themes range widely and defy conventional taboos: the torment of the gifted when they live among&#151;when they confront&#151;the very great; the experience of sex in different languages; a love for animals greater than for human beings; the costly privilege of exile; a theology of emptiness.<BR><BR>Yet a unifying perception underlies this diversity. The best we have or can produce is only the tip of the iceberg. Behind every good book, as in a lit shadow, lies the book which remained unwritten, the one that would have failed better. 1345620 30 1 2008 My Unwritten Books total:19|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 19 70 49 9 1355905 0811217035 9780811217033 15 6 3.68 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182956827m/1355905.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1355905.My_Unwritten_Books 3 1 false Wed May 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 16:54:56 -0700 2009 Wed May 06 20:39:49 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5989950 9789896162 9789896162542 1 1 3.68 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1229045945m/5989950.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5989950.Os_Livros_Que_N_o_Escrevi 5 0 false Fri Jan 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 03 06:16:44 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 30 05:23:54 -0800 2009
O simples facto de uma mente brilhante, de alguma maneira, assumir a sua inabilidade para tratar convenientemente determinados assuntos é, no mínimo, desafiante para quem lê.
