Abstract:

If it were possible, just for an instant, to forget the sufferings and worries of the everyday, if, in other words, it were possible to distance ourselves and somehow see ourselves from outside, I think we should have to agree with Goethe’s confession: «I have the great advantage of being born in an age where the great events of the world were on the order of the day, so that I have been an eyewitness of the Seven Years War, of the separation of America from England, and later of the French Revolution, and ultimately of the whole Napoleonic period up to the hero’s fall and events that followed it». Maybe we can say the same of our times, with greater justification. We live in a remarkable era.
