Le feu

Synopsis of Le feu

«Le feu» is a miscellany by Christian Roche and Jean-Jacques Barrère, published by Seuil (123 pages, in French).

The volume looks at different aspects of fire: its role in everyday life, its symbolic meanings and its representation in images. The cover, with a female figure beside a bonfire framed in a flame, refers to this visual journey; the text is completed with bibliographic references on the subject.

Published in 1999 by Seuil in the collection Le temps de rêver. It consists of 123 pages and includes bibliographic references.

For readers interested in fire as a cultural and symbolic theme, and in short works of a miscellaneous nature with bibliographic apparatus.
