The critique entitled "De la mort baroque a la mort classique" studies three authors and two ways to look at death. Montaigne, in a humanist perspective, focuses on what precedes death. Life is what matters. Death, within the baroque space, invites a celebration of life. Bossuet and Pascal, in a classical religious perspective, concentrate on what follows death. Eternal life is their main preoccupation at the expense of life on earth. Within the classical space, death is celebrated as the door to eternity. / The fiction entitled "Oraison funebre" tells the story of a death and the questioning it evokes. Woven into it is the story of the "little" deaths that take place in the course of a life.
