«Bilan de faillite» is the epistolary essay by Régis Debray, published by Gallimard in paperback (153 pages, in French).
Debray writes to his son, just graduated from high school, a letter that reviews the options —literature, sociology, politics, sciences— using the vocabulary of business, advises against politics, and becomes a balance sheet on the craft of living in today's world, with humor and irony.
Published in 2018, it falls under the category of philosophy; the cover shows Gallimard's nrf logo.
For adults interested in social and philosophical reflection and in a critical, ironic essay on contemporary life.
Jules Régis Debray is a French philosopher, journalist, former government official and academic. He is known for his theorization of mediology, a critical theory of the long-term transmission of cultural meaning in human society, and for associating with Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara in Bolivia in 1967 and advancing Salvador Allende's presidency in Chile in the early 1970s. He returned to France in 1973 and later held various official posts in the French government.
