Laurent Vogel (This book was produced from images made available by the HathiTrust Digital Library.) "Éloge de la paresse" by Eugène Marsan is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the concept of laziness, arguing for its necessity and virtues within human life and society. Through a blend of irony and reflection, it presents a different perspective on idleness as a source of creativity and happiness rather than mere sloth. In the book, a group of characters engages in spirited discussions about laziness at a picturesque château by the river. The dialogue revolves around the idea that idleness can be a form of freedom that fosters creativity and contemplation. Marsan illustrates various viewpoints: some argue that laziness leads to missed opportunities and artistic stagnation, while others defend it as essential to mental clarity and leisurely enjoyment of life. Throughout the conversations, the author emphasizes that paresse (laziness) is not just absence of work but rather a condition that allows individuals to connect more deeply with themselves and the world, ultimately leading to a more fulfilled existence.
