Christiaan L. Hart Nibbrig.
Asthetik des Todes.

 

The book by Christiaan L. Hart Nibbrig (born in 1944), a professor of Losanna University (Switzerland), touches upon the ultimate questions of being and the infinite efforts of art to depict the end of life, to render and repeat the inconceivable trick of death. The world literature, painting, sculpture and music all participate in this Death’s Dance, that penetrates the text with its own rhythms while moving to the tune of ironic and stylistically refined scholar.
