BOOK / THE DISYMMETRY. Roger Caillois

LITERATURE / POETRY

The forms of the natural world tend towards symmetry, but nature occasionally gives us wonderful exceptions to this rule that surprise and fascinate us. So much so that we turn them into legend. Roger Caillois focused on the common pattern of natural forms and wondered about the function and meaning of its opposite, dissymmetry, which he identified as an essential driver of change and progress, not only in nature but in human society and in art. Years later, Caillois took up this idea and developed it in The Myth of the Unicorn. This edition brings together for the first time in a single volume these two texts that must be read as a whole to understand the far-reaching vision of its author.
