Description
How do we find comfort in times of disbelief? In a series of reflections on writers, artists, musicians, and their works – from the Book of Job and the Psalms to Gustav Mahler, Albert Camus, Primo Levi, and Václav Havel – acclaimed writer and historian Michael Ignatieff shows how men and women in extreme situations throughout time have turned to one another for hope and resilience. The book On Comfort revives moments when great figures found the courage to confront their fate and the determination to continue without fear. Their stories resonate in the present with the conviction that we can revive these traditions of comfort as we face the anxiety and uncertainty of our tumultuous twenty-first century.
