Real Presences is an essay by American writer George Steiner, originally published in English in 1989 and translated into French in 1991. In this book, Steiner explores the relationship between language, art, and transcendence, arguing that authentic art connects us with a reality beyond the purely material. Through a deep and erudite analysis, Steiner challenges modern conceptions of language and culture, inviting the reader to reconsider the importance of real presence in a world increasingly dominated by representation and simulation.
Francis George Steiner, FBA was a French and American literary critic, essayist, philosopher, novelist and educator. He wrote extensively about the relationship between language, literature and society, as well as the impact of the Holocaust. A 2001 article in The Guardian described Steiner as a "polyglot and polymath".
