This week in "Au bonheur des livres", Guillaume Durand welcomes an exceptional one-off guest, Alain Finkielkraut, who is publishing an original book with sometimes testamentary resonances: "Pêcheur de perles" (Ed. Gallimard). The writer offers a series of quotes from authors dear to him (Hannah Arendt, Milan Kundera, Paul Valéry... or Paul McCartney) and whose commentary, or even gloss, is an opportunity to reflect on his life, his work... as well as on our contemporary era in general. Alain Finkielkraut remains a tireless and willingly virulent commentator of our times, which does not delight him much, to say the least. Guillaume Durand will be able to verify this by questioning him on his entire intellectual career, from May 1968 to the Académie française, from the Mao cap to the reactionary headgear he often wears. An opportunity not to be missed to hear a voice that is always passionate about our world of books and ideas. Guests: Alain Finkielkraut, “Pearl Fisherman” Ed. Gallimard Year of Production: 2023
