Customer Review

On the evening of his life, Jean d'Ormesson invites us to share both his wonder and his deepest questions.

He marvels of the world, nature and unlikely miracle of life.

He wondered about the meaning of it all, the existence of God and whether or not to hope. "I loved life and I have often wondered who I should thank This book is intended to be paid the question. "

With a dazzling pace, it leads Plato, Descartes, Newton, Darwin, Einstein and many others in a series of reflections on the key issues of the origin of the world and the nature of time passing.

Jean d'Ormesson sharing his doubts. It assesses different scenarios with intelligence, humor and poetry, and ends with a feeling of serenity, joy and hope.

Of course, there aavait already addressed most of these issues in other works (like "Sea Customs" for example), but this one is particularly lively and enjoyable to read. Chapeau!
