Summary: "Trois hommes: Pascal, Ibsen, Dostoïevski" by André Suarès is a philosophical exploration written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the thoughts and lives of three influential figures—Pascal, Ibsen, and Dostoïevski—examining their contributions to literature, philosophy, and the human condition. The narrative seems to be reflective and analytical, engaging with profound themes such as existentialism, faith, morality, and the struggles of the human spirit. The opening of the work introduces us to M. de Séipse, who, disturbed by the tumult and calumny of Paris, seeks solace in the countryside, specifically the historic site of Port-Royal. This serene setting serves as a backdrop as M. de Séipse grapples with the discord between personal conviction and the chaotic world around him. Amidst this introspection, he engages with the legacy of Pascal, contemplating the dissonance between human power and fatality, as well as the sacrifices of the jansenists. Suarès’s writing beautifully evokes themes of solitude and contemplation, establishing a reflective tone that invites readers to explore the intricate relationships between faith, existence, and the burden of self-knowledge.
