African American literature is the body of literature produced in the United States by writers of African descent. It begins with the works of such late 18th-century writers as Phillis Wheatley. Before the high point of enslaved people narratives, African-American literature was dominated by autobiographical spiritual narratives. The genre known as slave narratives in the 19th century were accounts by people who had generally escaped from slavery, about their journeys to freedom and ways they claimed their lives.

Rousseau's Discourse sets out to explore the origin of inequality among people, a journey that sees him trace the evolution of humans from the savage man to the foundations of civil society. With verve and passion, the philosopher argues that the birth of private property was the "beginning of evil". Throughout the book we are led to consider the development of language, reason, self-preservation, benevolence, pity, and law - all through the lens of perhaps the most original thinker of the 18th century.

Ils sont morts à quelques semaines d'intervalle : d'abord le père, puis la vieille tante de celui-ci, enfin le grand-père maternel. Mais cette série funèbre semble n'avoir fait qu'un seul disparu : le narrateur, dont le vide occupe le centre du récit. C'est à la périphérie et à partir d'infimes indices (un dentier, quelques photos, une image pieuse) que se constitue peu à peu une histoire, qui finira par atteindre, par strates successives, l'horizon de l'Histoire majuscule avec sa Grande Guerre, berceau de tous les mystères.
