Death, by Richard Beliveau and Denis Gingras
death is the first book of its kind to appear in QUEBEC.
The book explains the biological processes associated with death, the different causes of death, and describes designs of historical, cultural and spiritual death. He methodically explores the biology and the limits of life, the rituals of death and fears associated with it and describes the events surrounding the loss of life. The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs of masterpieces of art, paintings and sculptures with various representations of death. Its content is medical and scientific, yet it raises questions of cultural and philosophical. It is liberally sprinkled with funny quotes about death and iconoclastic, favoring a rapprochement with the great thinkers and writers and putting into perspective our visceral fears.
first book to offer such a reflection on the philosophical and scientific understanding (or transcendent) of death, it is to transform us in our deepest humanity, allowing us to better appreciate life.
