If not by nature, then by habit, people tend to match one thing
with another--man and woman, laughter and tears, sickness and
health, fire and water, master and servant--thereby accentuating
similarities and contrasts and opening a field of relations. In
"The Mirror of Ideas," Michel Tournier examines these pairs and a
host of others to demonstrate how pairing one object or idea with
another generates the work of imagination, philosophy, and creative
thinking of all kinds.
Tournier treats pairs both lowly and exalted--moving from fork and
spoon, horse and bull, cat and dog, to fear and anguish, poetry and
prose, body and soul, being and nothingness. Hardly an exhaustive
inventory of traditional pairs, his selection nonetheless opens the
door to patterns deeply embedded in culture and civilization,
speech and writing, memory and habit. Possessed of both brilliant
surfaces and surprising depths, Tournier's myriad reflections on
the mirror of language reveal why his works have generated
international attention and acclaim.
