Coat of Arms with a Lion and Unicorn, by Master hw (German, active c. 1481/1482), c. 1480/1490

โ€œThe strength or weakness of a society depends more on the level of its spiritual life than on its level of industrialization. Neither a market economy nor even general abundance constitutes the crowning achievement of human life. If a nation's spiritual energies have been exhausted, it will not be saved from collapse by the most perfect government structure or by any industrial development. A tree with a rotten core cannot stand.โ€

Lโ€™Annรฉe 4338 : Lettres de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg
par Vladimir Odoรฏevski publiรฉ en 1835 (illustration du livre)

Lโ€™Annรฉe 4338 : Lettres de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg est un roman futuriste de Vladimir Odoรฏevski publiรฉ en 1835. Cette ล“uvre a รฉtรฉ conรงue ร  lโ€™origine comme le troisiรจme volet dโ€™une trilogie, qui devait รฉgalement prรฉsenter des reprรฉsentations de la Russie ร  lโ€™รฉpoque de Pierre le Grand et dans la pรฉriode contemporaine de lโ€™auteur, les annรฉes 1830. La premiรจre partie nโ€™a jamais รฉtรฉ รฉcrite et la seconde, futuriste, est restรฉe inachevรฉe. Des fragments ont รฉtรฉ publiรฉs en 1835 et 1840, la version la plus complรจte parut en 1926.

Le monde dรฉcrit dans lโ€™ล“uvre dโ€™Odoรฏevski est ร  certains รฉgards similaire au XXIe siรจcle et pourtant diffรจre considรฉrablement du prรฉsent que nous rencontrons actuellement. Parmi les avancรฉes technologiques incluses dans les Lettres de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg, citons les voyages aรฉriens et spatiaux, le tรฉlรฉphone, les climats contrรดlรฉs artificiellement et la possibilitรฉ de photocopier. Les drogues hallucinogรจnes et de vรฉritรฉ, sous forme de boissons gazeuses et de ยซ bains magnรฉtiques ยป, รฉliminent lโ€™hypocrisie de la vie sociale. Dans cet avenir envisagรฉ, la Russie et la Chine sont les centres du pouvoir mondial. La Russie et la Chine ont uni leurs efforts pour รฉviter la collision de la Terre avec une autre planรจte. Dans le roman, la Chine est dรฉcrite comme ayant connu une ยซ stagnation mortelle ยป qui a pris fin avec le rรจgne de Hin Gin au 39รจme siรจcle. Le personnage principal de lโ€™histoire est en fait un รฉtudiant chinois, Ippolit Tsunguev, (et non un personnage russe, comme on pourrait sโ€™y attendre) qui frรฉquente lโ€™รฉcole principale de Saint-Pรฉtersbourg. Ses lettres ร  ses camarades de classe constituent le roman.

L'auteur a rรฉdigรฉ ce livre en 1835. Comment a-t-il pu connaรฎtre tous les dรฉtails du style de vie qu'il dรฉcrit, qui semble tellement similaire au nรดtre en 2024 ?

O que se pode saber de verdade, com pouca pesquisa, รฉ que TUDO, ABSOLUTAMENTE TUDO na natureza tem seu ciclo: nasce ou surge, cresce ou se desenvolve, chega so seu apogeu e comeรงa a involucionar.
Seja uma arvore, seja um leรฃo, seja uma civilizaรงรฃo.
O problema รฉ que os registros da รฉpoca em que uma civilizaรงรฃo estava evolucionando NรƒO os temos de forma integral. O que sobra รฉ o registro da era involutiva, com todas as suas aberraรงรตes...

Sundial of Ahaz, leaf from the Postilla Litteralis (Literal Commentary) of Nicholas of Lyra.

Paris, France,
ca. 1360-1380.

With its fan-like shapes that seem to flutter across the page, this leaf exemplifies the medieval diagrammatic tradition at its best. What feels like elements lifted from a 20th century-century watercolor are in fact abstract sundials used to illustrate a fine point of 14th-century biblical exegesis.

The leaf comes from the landmark study of Nicholas of Lyra (1270-1349), Master of Theology of the University of Paris, which provided commentary on every book of the Bible. The story here, found in both Isaiah (38:1-8) and 2 Kings (20:1-11), recounts Godโ€™s willingness to turn the shadow of the sun back 10 degreesโ€”approximately one hour--as a sign to the Judean King Hezekiah. The illustrations on this leaf present two different ways of charting the miraculous reversal of time.

The 6000-7000 year old burial of a young woman and her newborn baby found in Vedbรฆk, Denmark.

The young woman, estimated to be around 20 years of age at the time of her death, and baby are believed to have died during childbirth.

Two hundred red deer teeth were found by the womanโ€™s head, and her head resting on a pillow of antlers. The baby was found buried on the wingtip of a whooper swan with a flint knife at its hip.

The child was placed on a specific part of the swan, an appendage that had a strong and important role in social interaction between swans, made up of the long primary and secondary feathers used to fletch arrows. The wing was placed in the grave not as a symbolic afterthought, but as a material acknowledgement of the intimate relationship between humans and whooper swans, the enmeshing of their worlds and the development of understanding both of themselves and of the surrounding world, through their continual and repeated engagements.

The capture and killing of a swan, understood not as a resource but as a sentient social agent, would be an emotive and theatrical event, a very specific, sensorial and affective experience: the clamorous and terrified movements of a stricken swan or the cacophonous and tremulous swirl of sound emitted by desperate swans as they were trapped, would have made the occasion distinctive, poignant and memorable.


Prior to killing, humans may have believed they recognized specific individuals from previous engagements, possibly even from different years; with this memory comes an acknowledgement that they are, like humans, individual and sentient beings, adding considerable weight to the process of killing them. Moreover, these experiences would have contributed to the developing biographies of these known individual swans, created through past engagements.
