Открытие медлительности

After the publication of Stan Nadolny's book "The Discovery of Slowness", the struggle for the right to live slowly took on a European dimension. On the Internet on numerous sites you can find "formulas of life" from Nadolny: "Those who think that the time spent thinking and contemplating is wasted are mistaken." Or, "Destiny never comes alone. It comes with you." Good is the one who is fast and who has time? We are accustomed to think this way, because for the last two centuries all morality has been subordinated to the idea of ​​progress. According to Nadolny, the one who holds time in his hands is good. Time in Nadolny turns into a moral category. He introduces a new hero into literature: a man who subjugated time, made him work for himself. His name is Sir John Franklin, a naval officer and discoverer of the northern seas, whose life has become a philosophical detective story: who will outplay whom - time for you or you for it?
