Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A genre-defying book from one of Frances most well-known philosopher-writers. In the Lower Saxony region of northwestern Germany sits the city of Osnabrueck. This is where, in 1648, the Peace of Westphalia was signed, bringing the Thirty Years War and one of the most calamitous periods of European history to an end. But the city was later to witness another calamity. Today, as one walks through Old Synagogue Street in a rich neighborhood of Osnabrueck, one might miss noticing a pile of pale stones held together by chicken wire that sits between two fashionable homes. These are the well-kept ruins from behind which stares a gaping spacea place of memory and oblivion. Four polished plaques tell the tale of the horror-filled night of November 9, 1938today known as Kristallnachtwhen the synagogue that had stood on this spot was desecrated, looted, set on fire, and eventually demolished by Hitlers forces. On the same day, ninety parishioners were imprisoned by the Gestapo and eventually sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Osnabrueck was also home to Eve Klein, a member of the citys early-twentieth-century Jewish community and the mother of author Helene Cixous. In Well-Kept Ruins, Cixous returns to the historic city in 2019 and reflects on the remains of the synagogue that express the life lost, the life kept. Walking the streets of the city, plumbing the depths of the past along with her own familys history, looking deep into the future, and punctuating her poetic prose with haunting photographs, Cixous explores the ruins at the heart of humanity. Part memoir, part philosophical meditation, Well-Kept Ruins is a genre-defying and timely reflection of the contemporary human condition.
