Abstract

Cette chronique crue et tendre à la fois met en scène un père, sa fille et l'environnement soignant à travers les petits détails de la vie quotidienne dans une unité de soins de long séjour. L'urgence d'une vie ténue se dérobe constamment devant la mort qui rôde. Elle oblige à vivre chaque instant d'un présent sans avenir, à affronter cette peur nouvelle et inconnue d'être témoin et partie prenante d'une situation d'une grande force, où sont atteintes la quintessence de l'humain et sa transcendance. Les affects envahissants sont mis à distance grâce à un récit sobre pour porter et supporter les vécus de tous les protagonistes dont le personnage central reste le vieillard dépendant.

Abstract

During the US book tour for his memoir, Hitch-22, Christopher Hitchens collapsed in his New York hotel room to excoriating pain in his chest and thorax. As he would later write in the first of a series of deeply moving Vanity Fair pieces, he was being deported 'from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady.' Over the next year he underwent the brutal gamut of modern cancer treatment, enduring catastrophic levels of suffering and eventually losing the ability to speak. Mortality is the most meditative collection of writing Hitchens has ever p

Abstract

"In this collection of letters, drawings, and photos, Anders Nilsen chronicles a six-year relationship and the illness that brought it to an end. Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is an eloquent appreciation of the time the author shared with his fiancée, Cheryl Weaver. The story is told using artifacts of the couple's life together, including early love notes, simple and poetic postcards, tales of their travels in written and comics form, journal entries, and drawings done in the hospital in her final days. It concludes with a beautifully rendered account of Weaver's memorial that Glen David Gold, writing in the Los Angeles Times, called '16 panels of beauty and grace.' Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is a deeply personal romance, and a universal reminder of our mortality and the significance of the relationships we build"--From publisher's website.

Abstract

Whether from a sudden accident or a slow, terminal illness, the death of a parent is devastating, and its effects often under-estimated. This book looks at the process of coping with a parent's death in adulthood, from preparing for death to recognizing the different stages of grief, from nurturing the relationship with the surviving parent to harnessing new strength to carry on with life.

Abstract

There is one thing we can be sure of: we are all going to die. But once we accept that fact, the questions begin. In this thought-provoking book, philosophy professor Shelly Kagan examines the myriad questions that arise when we confront the meaning of mortality. Do we have reason to believe in the existence of immortal souls? Should we accept an account according to which people are just material objects, nothing more? Can we make sense of the idea of surviving the death of one's body? If I won't exist after I die, can death truly be bad for me? Would immortality be desirable? Is fear of death appropriate? Is suicide ever justified? How should I live in the face of death?Written in an informal and conversational style, this stimulating and provocative book challenges many widely held views about death, as it invites the reader to take a fresh look at one of the central features of the human condition-the fact that we will die.
