Muzyka jako utopia języka idealnego. Kilka spojrzeń na twórczość Pascala Quignarda

The works of Pascal Quignard include numerous references to visual arts and music. His stories often originate in images which constitute a source of writer’s inspiration. One of the author’s aims is based on paradox: he tries to reveal the invisible through the visible. It is music that shows him the way of touching the mystery of invisible. Its universal link with human origins can be understood as a place of memory for writings. Quignard follows up the secrets of music via its mythical origins. One of Quignard’s most significant and controversial attempts is his interpretation of the myth of Ulysses, presented in his book The Hatred of Music.
