Eugénie Bastié: “Homo festivus is dead, long live Philippe Muray! ». The 19th century through the ages is republished in Belles Lettres.
We must reread Muray as a requiem to the dying empire of the Good. He deserved this adjective as a title to glory. He was Reactionary by Joseph de Maistre, by Balzac, and by Baudelaire. He believed in original sin, the rejection of the religion of Progress, sexuality as a mystery.
