DUST JACKET: Lightly Chipped; In Archival Quality Jacket Cover. SUB-TITLE: A Memoir. ALSO KNOWN AS: Originally published in France in 1992 as L'avenir dure longtemps, suivi de Les faits by Editions STOCK/IMEC. TRANSLATED BY: Richard Veasey. CONTENTS: Introduction, by Douglas Johnson; Editors' Foreword; The Future Lasts Forever; The Facts. SYNOPSIS: On November 16, 1980, Louis Althusser, while massaging his wife's neck, discovered he had strangled her. The world-renowned French philosopher was immediately confined to an insane asylum, and his murderous act was officially deemed "temporary insanity." Althusser's memoirs, written in his years of confinement, offer a far more complex and intriguing explanation. An instant bestseller in France, this powerful literary document is now available to American audiences for the first time. Reminiscent to many readers of Strindberg's Diary of a Madman, Althusser's book is clearly an explanation designed to persuade the world, and perhaps himself, of his innocence. But The Future Lasts Forever is much more - it s a profound yet subtle exercise in documenting madness from the inside. With a preface by Douglas Johnson, Emeritus Professor of French at London University. Born in 1918, Louis Althusser was one of the most influential French thinkers of the post-war period. The author of Reading Capital, For Marx, and many other books, he lived in Paris until his death in 1990.. First Thus 1st Printing. Hard Cover.
