Grande admiratrice du philosophe, Sibylle Lewitscharoff, dans ce roman qui multiplie les allusions a Lions, evoque surtout le penseur dans son cabinet de travail. On pourrait parler en l'occurrence de portrait moral d'un saint moderne qui, tel saint Jerome (la comparaison est explicite), a voue son existence a l'etude dans la solitude de sa retraite. Dans le roman, la metaphore devient realite, le lion de la legende de Jerome se concretise dans son bureau, devient donc present mais tout en...
