The history of silence

A brief about the book History of Silence - Alain Corban: the book History of Silence: from the Renaissance to the present day by the French historian Alain Corban is a sensitive historical and cultural study that traces the development of the concept of silence and its manifestations in individual and social life in the West since the sixteenth century up to the modern era. Corban does not address silence as merely the absence of sound, but as an internal state and a spiritual and cultural experience that expresses the relationship of man with himself, with others, and with time.
