Maurice Blanchot, the eminent literary and cultural critic, has had a vast influence on contemporary French writers—among them Jean Paul Sartre and Jacques Derrida. From the 1930s through the present day, his writings have been shaping the international literary consciousness.The Space of Literature, first published in France in 1955, is central to the development of Blanchot's thought. In it he reflects on literature and the unique demand it makes upon our attention. Thus he explores the process of reading as well as the nature of artistic creativity, all the while considering the relation of the literary work to time, to history, and to death. This book consists not so much in the application of a critical method or the demonstration of a theory of literature as in a patiently deliberate meditation upon the literary experience, informed most notably by studies of Mallarmé, Kafka, Rilke, and Hölderlin. Blanchot's discussions of those writers are among the finest in any language.

В этой книге произошло столкновение двух «экзистенциальных проектов», и Сартр-философ попытался подчинить своему «проекту» Бодлера-поэта.
Вся поэзия Бодлера — это судорожное метание между «восторгом жизни» и «ужасом» перед ней, между эросом и танатосом, между лихорадочными приступами активности и провалами в опиумное забвение, между «желанием возвыситься» и «блаженством нисхождения».
Сартр описал эти метания как продукт «нечистой совести» человека, так и не решившегося сделать выбор между «бытием» и «существованием» и понесшего за это наказание в виде собственной, совершенно безотрадной, судьбы. К этому наказанию Сартр добавляет и свой безжалостный приговор, основанный на истолковании всех фактов из жизни «обвиняемого» как изобличающих его улик — доказательств экзистенциального преступления.
Очерк Сартра блестящ. Верно, конечно, что Бодлер сам оказался повинен в понесенном им «жизненном поражении». Но ведь не менее верно и то, что именно это поражение обеспечило ему победу в ином плане — литературном, послужив источником двух лирических шедевров XIX века — «Цветов Зла» и «Стихотворений в прозе».

В настоящее издание вошли программные работы Барта 50- 60-х гг., создававшиеся под знаком демистификации обыденного идеологического сознания. Барт разработал аналитический инструментарий "коннотативной семиологии", позволяющий подорвать власть "ложного сознания", вывернуть наизнанку идеологические мифы и прорваться в "новый и совершенный адамов мир", где слова, научившись передавать смысл "самих вещей", обретут первозданную "свежесть" и станут наконец "счастливы".

В издании представлена литературно-публицистическая статья Д. С. Мережковского, посвященная критическому обзору и анализу творчества русских писателей, поэтов и их критиков, где особое внимание уделено характеристике современных автору литераторов, настроений публики той эпохи, состояния языка и книгоиздательского дела. Вышедшая в свет в 1892 году статья стала своеобразным «манифестом» раннего русского символизма.

The great visions of Gryphius, Lessing, Holderlin, and Novalis, visions of peace, freedom, and humanity, have not been refuted. They were simply not realized in the modem era and they point to a different future...the lofty intellectuality and morality of Pascal the Catholic as well as the radical Christianness of Kierkegaard the Protestant have to be taken in here just as much as the mystical depth of Dostoyevsky the Russian and the enigmatic darkness of Kafka the Jew. The eclipse of God, the subsequent twilight of the gods, the downfall of the modem pseudogods can be followed by a new morning in a paradigm of postmodernity (a name for what is as yet unknown). Yes, let us look forward. If I read the signs of the times rightly, toward the end of our century rebellion against the Kafkaesque world is everywhere afoot.... Literature and religion in one: a theme of hope for a new futurean era that can bring forth literature in which great theology and great aesthetics enter once again into an exemplary intimacy. uHans Knng, from Literature and Religion Up until the seventeenth century, Western culture was essentially synonymous with Christian culture. Then, on the very border between the medieval and the modem worlds, this unity of authority and belief began to crumble. For the first time, an intellectual life developed that was independent of the church, and modem, rational man surged toward new models of the world, society, the church, and theology. In Literature and Religion, Hans Knng and Walter Jens survey the complex, vital, and contradictory search for faith over the past three hundred years through the key works of eight great writers. At the dawn of modernity, Blaise Pascal was the prototype of the new modern man, measuring religion against developments in science, technology, and industrialization. Andreas Gryphius records the forces of the German Reformation, while Gotthold Lessing embodies the Enlightenment. Romanticism is represented by works of Ho1derlin and Novalis, and the crisis of the nineteenth century by Kierkegaard and Dostoyevsky. Finally, Knng and Jens show the demise of the paradigm of modernity in the extreme distance between God and man in KafkaAEs The Castle. Hans Knng, the renowned theologian, and Walter Jens, a literary specialist, bring contemporary postmodern consciousness to bear on centuries of interwoven poetry and faith. Readers today will find answers to the ongoing dialogue on the possibilities and limits of faith in our fractured age.
