Summary/Abstract: Souveraineté du vide by Christian Bobin is, in my opinion, a text of mystical illuminations, which turns the notion of void, a mainly philosophical notion, into a structure able to mobilise other notions such as writing, light, childhood, nostalgy, love and solitude, in such a way that they highlight the notion of slowness and thus they reconcile the human beings with their human nature, by significantly anchoring them into it.
