"Recherche" {'Quest'} [1918]
|
Jean Piaget wrote this novel at the age of 20. It has no real plot or action, but reports the discourse within the mind of a troubled Swiss adolescant named Sébastien, who wanders across the Alpine landscape during the Great War and ponders deep questions of Life. It is easy for those familiar with Piaget's work to recognize his basic ideas {as above} in this novel. Piaget's personal need for an all-encompassing system motivated his subsequent and staggering output over the next 65 years. The book was described in 1980 as undergoing translation into English by Piaget's friend E. James Anthony (then at Washington University), but virtually nothing can be found on Google or Amazon (3 countries) or B&N (as-of Sept 2008). |
