This is an automatically translated description

What is silence? How to express it, how to explain it? What role did it play in the history of mankind? These are the questions that the famous French historian Alain Corben, a renowned "researcher of feelings," tries to answer. Masterfully juggling quotes, scenes from paintings and allusions, the author presents both historical and deep psychological views, findings and theses in an accessible form.

For a wide range of readers.
