Can there be major dimensions of a poem, a painting, a musical compostion created in the absence of God? Or, is God always a real presence in the arts? Any new book by Steiner is an event according to Eva Hoffman of the New York Times.

By one of the world’s foremost literary critics, George Steiner’s My Unwritten Books meditates upon seven books he had long had in mind to write, but never did. Massively erudite, the essays are also brave, unflinching, and wholly personal.In this fiercely original and audacious work, George Steiner tells of seven books which he did not write. Because intimacies and indiscretions were too threatening. Because the topic brought too much pain. Because its emotional or intellectual challenge proved beyond his capacities.The actual themes range widely and defy conventional taboos: the

""This book is important--and portentous--for if it is true that tragedy is dead, we face a vital cultural loss. . . . The book is bound to start controversy. . . . The very passion and insight with which he writes about the tragedies that have moved him prove that the vision still lives and that words can still enlighten and reveal.""-R.B.

With his well-known elegance of style and intellectual range, George Steiner here explores the idea of creation in Western thought, literature, religion, and history. In the volume that may fairly be called his magnum opus, Steiner probes deeply into the driving forces of the human spirit, considers our perceptions of Western civilization’s lengthening afternoon shadows, and concludes with an eloquent evocation of the endlessness of beginnings.

When it first appeared in 1975, After Babel created a sensation, quickly establishing itself as both a controversial and seminal study of literary theory. In the original edition, Steiner provided readers with the first systematic investigation since the eighteenth century of the phenomenology and processes of translation both inside and between languages. Taking issue with the principal emphasis of modern linguistics, he finds the root of the "Babel problem" in our deep instinct for privacy and territory, noting that every people has in its language a unique body of shared secrecy. With this
