One of the foremost thinkers of his generation, Furio Jesi began to
publish scholarly essays in academic journals at the age of
fifteen. By the time of his early death in 1980, he had accumulated
a body of work that astonishes with its abundance and diversity,
its depth and scope, and, above all, for its unfailing rigor and
brilliance. In Time and Festivity, Andrea Cavalletti collects
Jesi's finest essays, ranging from his groundbreaking work on myth
and politics to his reflections on time, festivity, and revolt. He
explores the significance of texts by Rimbaud, Rilke, Lukacs, and
Pavese and the mythological language of the biblical story of
Susanna. Carefully annotated and referenced, and enriched by a
first-person account of Jesi's intellectual biography, Time and
Festivity provides a precious guide to the methodology and approach
at the core of Jesi's thought, displaying how his personal, vitally
intense via negativa might in fact originate from his early
statement: "All I have ever written is poetry."
