Bernard-Henri Lévy

Réflexions sur la Guerre, le Mal et la fin de l’Histoire is published by Melville House under the title War, Evil and the End of History, translated by Charlotte Mandell. Grasset publishes a collection of his unpublished articles and essays on literature, philosophy, cinema, Bosnia and Israel, among other topics, under the title Récidives, Questions de principe IX. Jours de colère, Questions de principe VIII is published by Le Livre de Poche, presenting a collection of his weekly columns during 2001-2004.

At the request of Boston’s Atlantic Monthly, Bernard-Henri Lévy begins his U.S. travels in the footsteps of Alexis de Tocqueville, in July. And he produces, through Films du Lendemain, the filmed version of his American journey, which Michko Netchak directs with the assistance of Gilles Hertzog.

Beginning of the barrage of often very critical books devoted to Bernard-Henri Lévy’s work and life. While François Aubral et Xavier Delcourt had already brought out a Contre la nouvelle philosophie (Gallimard) in 1977 and Dominique Lecourt, a Les piètres penseurs (Flammarion) in 1999, Jade Lindgaard and Xavier de la Porte now open fire with Le B.A BA du BHL : Enquête sur le plus grand intellectuel français (La Découverte). There will quickly follow Philippe Cohen (BHL, une biographie, Fayard), Philippe Boggio, (Bernard-Henri Lévy: une vie, la Table ronde), Nicolas Beau et Olivier Toscer (Une imposture française, Les Arènes), Dominique-Emmanuel Blanchard (BHL, Bérénice et Frédéric B., Editions Le Bord de l’eau), Daniel Bensaïd ( BHL un nouveau théologien, Lignes), Richard Labévière ( BHL ou la règle du je, Le Temps des cerises).
