Description
Hardcover, 304 pages, published January 2022. In times of loss and crisis, we seek solace from others. Yet, in an age of unbelief, this language has largely vanished. Michael Ignatieff explores how writers, artists, and musicians have searched for comfort across centuries, finding hope and resilience in the face of adversity. Through portraits of individuals who have confronted their fate with courage, Ignatieff reveals the power of human connection in times of darkness. This book contemplates the possibility of reviving ancient traditions of consolation to meet the anguish of the 21st century.
