After Thomas l’Obscur and Aminadab, Blanchot here brings to its most political point the world of oppression and indeterminacy that characterizes his novels. Completed in 1947 and published three years after the war, Le Très-Haut transposes into fiction the experience of political collapse, in which the State, the law and revolution merge into a single movement of contamination.
A fine copy, in perfect condition. Rare.
