Abstract

A literary criticism of the books "La Soirée avec Monsieur Teste," by Paul Valéry and "Aucun de nous ne reviendra," by Charlotte Delbo is presented. Topics discussed include the self encounters on painful experiences, the intellectual experiment on the power of pain, and the study of the unselfing phenomena which covers self-loss and self-transcendence.
