Each author presents a wide and complex compendium of ideas and I was not familiar at all with one of them (and I am still not). Just reading the title you know that you are about to read something really insightful, dense and paradoxical: fleeting present. It is not the contemporary vrs the traditional using the example of the oratory or the expectations of the audience about new, modern or post modern ideas…It is the romanticism in the process of cultural renewal. As we are fleeting the present it is becoming the past and sooner or later “obsolete” and at the same time the basis upon the new flourishes in contrast or as a continuation. As Kundera said : Each instant represents a little universe, irrevocably forgotten in the next instant I hope to read soon more and deeply about it so I can have a better understanding.
