On consolation

[Celine]

Michael Ignatieff’s On Consolation invites us to walk alongside some of history’s most profound thinkers and artists as they searched for strength in the darkest of times. From the poetry of the Psalms to the writings of Primo Levi and the philosophy of Albert Camus, the book reveals how consolation has been redefined across centuries. For our club, it could open conversations not only about history and philosophy but also about our personal ways of finding comfort in today’s uncertain world.
