Women and men

Published in January 1995

This book is a set of opinionated conversations between Françoise Giroud, former government minister, feminist journalist, and Bernard-Henri Lévy, philosopher, on male-female relations serves up a very intellectual discourse on love, sex, jealousy, seduction and infidelity.

Israel

Unfailingly present whenever Israel is in danger, Bernard-Henri Lévy has rolled up his sleeves since the 1970s to find peaceful solutions. But when the philosopher thinks about Israel, he is also thinking about the entire world. And when he becomes involved in Bosnia, Georgia, Sudan, Sri Lanka, or Afghanistan that involvement reflects his thinking about Israel. The post-Holocaust principle of “Never Again” inhabits his words and deeds with respect to Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

Afghanistan

Described here are eight trips to Afghanistan made by a French writer over a period of 40 years, the country and its unceasing tragedy ever in his heart. The abandonment of Afghanistan to the Taliban is considered a wound and a stain by countless humanitarians, academics, archaeologists, soldiers, diplomats, and ordinary citizens, as it is for all lovers of liberty. But the fight goes on. Yesterday with the legendary Ahmad Shah Massoud; today with his son, the new Lion of Panjshir.

Kurdistan

From Peshmerga to The Battle of Mosul, from The Empire and the Five Kings to Another Idea of the World, Bernard-Henri Lévy has never ceased to plead the cause of the Kurds, a long-suffering people repeatedly abandoned by their western allies. To the Kurds who fought ISIS and count the mountains as their only friends, Lévy promises : “I will stand by your side until the day I die.”
