The book of the week: an immersion in the eternal Kierkegaard, the prophet of modern anguish. Between anguish and seduction, Joakim Garff's biography shows us the important role that irony played in KierKEgaard's work.

The Tusquets publishing house has just published, in a very tight translation by Juan Evaristo Valls, the monumental biography written at the end of the last century by the theologian and professor JoakIM Garff. Kierkegard was very much a seismographer of the future, a prophet of a new time - and a new sensitivity! - that was yet to come.
