Description
Can a musician change the world?
May his compositions create new longings in people's minds?
After the civilization collapsed people organized themselves in masterages. It worked: they were well protected.
But time passed and what had been a means of protection became a means of subjection, and subjection prevents any progress.
How to persuade people to trade their security for their liberty?
To my dear students:
This book is of a higher learning level than the previous ones for three linguictic reasons.
1- The story takes place in an imaginary world with things that are unknown in ours: some words don't appear in any dictionary.
2 - The sentences are supposed to follow the rhythms of a carrilonging: they are long with periphrases because carrilongers never use verbs in their negative forms (it's a very good exercise, try it!)
3 - I used pleonasms because repetitions help to memorize (...and I entertained myself with this entertainment.)
Un musicien peut-il changer le monde?
Ses compositions peuvent-elles créer de nouvelles aspirations dans les esprits?
Après l'écroulement de la civilisation les gens se sont organisés en maîtrisats. Ce fut une réussite: ils étaient bien protégés.
Le temps passant, ce qui était un moyen de protection devint un moyen de sujétion et la sujétion empêche tout progrès.
Comment persuader les peuples de risquer leur sécurité pour gagner leur liberté?
