Liberare il pensiero e la storia delle idee dalla soggezione nei confronti dell’uomo, dalla sua esperienza, dalla sua soggettività. “In pratica — scrive Foucault — si tratta di descrivere dei discorsi. Non dei libri, non delle teorie, ma degli insiemi che si presentano attraverso il tempo, come la medicina o l’economia politica o la biologia.” Parte da qui, dallo studio dei meccanismi che regolano la formazione dei discorsi, la grande ricerca che Foucault ha avviato su come funzionano le procedure di controllo sull’uomo, e su come “volontà di verità” e potere siano strettamente correlati.

Román známého francouzského autora sleduje očima desetiletého chlapce život v útulku pro bezprizorné děti. Drsné prostředí, jednotlivé kruté osudy, beznadějná bída a otrlost jsou v suchém a přirozeném podání opuštěného dítěte podivuhodně věcné a velmi působivé. Toto dítě, žijící v neustálých obavách z budoucnosti, se zcela dospěle stará o umírající ženu a stává se tak nositelem neokázalého, ale o to hlubšího člověčenství. Vyjímečná kniha, naplněná hlubokým humanismem, měla světový ohlas.

New York Times Bestselling and Goncourt Prize-Winning Author of The Anomaly Any man—or woman—who wants to hear nothing—or no more—about love should put this book down. Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don’t know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna’s analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long-married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.
