"¿Cómo podemos protegernos de las guerras nucleares, los cataclismos ecológicos o las tecnologías disruptivas? ¿Qué podemos hacer contra la propagación de la posverdad o la amenaza del terrorismo? ¿Qué debemos enseñar a nuestros hijos?

Les triomphes de la Renaissance italienne sont si éclatants qu'ils ont eu tendance à reléguer dans l'ombre des pans entiers de l'art européen au XVe siècle. Dans cette synthèse sans équivalent, Jan Bialostocki, historien de l'art de renommée mondiale, corrige cette perspective et présente un tableau de toute l'activité artistique dans l'ensemble de l'Europe, de l'Espagne à la Russie, de l'Angleterre à la Bohême. Sans jamais diluer dans de vagues généralisations la personnalité de génies tels que Sluter, Fouquet, Van Eyck ou Schongauer, il caractérise les styles et les nouveaux types iconographiques en les reliant constamment aux bouleversements politiques et religieux de ce siècle qu'on a pu surnommer « l'automne du Moyen Âge ».
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE What sort of "person" is God? What is his "life story"? Is it possible to approach him not as an object of religious reverence, but as the protagonist of the world's greatest book—as a character who possesses all the depths, contradictions, and abiguities of a Hamlet? This is the task that Jack Miles—a former Jesuit trained in religious studies and Near Eastern languages—accomplishes with such brilliance and originality in God: A Biography. Using the Hebrew Bible as his text, Miles shows us a God who evolves through his relationship with man, the image who in time becomes his rival. Here is the Creator who nearly destroys his chief creation; the bloodthirsty warrior and the protector of the downtrodden; the lawless law-giver; the scourge and the penitent. Profoundly learned, stylishly written, the resulting work illuminates God and man alike and returns us to the Bible with a sense of discovery and wonder.
