OCTAVIAN PALER. THE DANGER OF CIVILITY
OCTAVIAN PALER. THE DANGER OF CIVILITY

Summary/Abstract: Octavian Paler is a successful writer, his books enjoyed, and still enjoy, an enviable bookstore success. He is a popular author, and his memorable formulas have become intellectual folklore. The great success with the public is paradoxical, like the oxymoronic title, which has become an emblem, like the author himself a paradoxical being. Octavian Paler didn't give lessons, didn't launch appeals to anyone, lucidly assumed his vulnerability. But this encapsulated vulnerability becomes a formidable weapon. "The danger of civility" is more ferocious, as a revelation, than ever before, for a world in which lies are not less, but more cynical and diverse, a world in which we live our freedom badly.
