A History of Silence: From the Renaissance to the Present Day
Corbin, Alain (University of Paris I)
Silence is not simply the absence of noise. It characterises our most intimate spaces and inspires writers who have long sought solitude in mountains and forests. Today, when noise is everywhere, historian Alain Corbin goes back to a time when speech was rare and precious, showing how silence can still offer a richer experience of life.
