The romantic lie and the fictional truth

A brief about the book after the romantic lie and the narrative truth. René Girard in his book Violence and the Sacred aims to elevate us to the beginnings of the cultural and social edifice that rises in the heart of our civilization. This remarkable research focuses on the fundamental role of institutionalized violence and sacrificial victim based on a very personal new reading of the Greek tragedians, and at the same time a thorough discussion of the most important interpretive approaches, especially psychoanalysis. Thus, the religion based on violent consensus finds a precise analysis and an unprecedented interpretation in this pioneering research.
