The light of dead stars - Massimo Recalcati Feltrinelli Editore

Description

Central to this book is the relationship of human life to the traumatic experience of loss. What happens inside us when we lose those we have deeply loved? What void opens up? What work awaits us to return to life? And what happens when this work is impossible and we feel lost together with those we have lost? The work of mourning and nostalgia are two examples of how we can stay close to what we have lost without being swallowed up by pain. While our time exalts the future, the project, enterprise, mourning and nostalgia remind us that looking back is not always a sign of impotence, but can also feed the resources needed to be truly capable of not never stop being born.
