Dice el diccionario que lo insólito es lo raro, lo extraño, lo desacostumbrado. Lo insólito nos permite observar el mundo desde el otro lado del espejo y deformar las imágenes de la realidad para mostrar su verdadero rostro. En esta antología, lo insólito es todo aquello que resulta extraordinario. Lo que se sale de lo común: lo inusual, lo fabuloso o lo inexplicable. Lo que aspira a ir más allá de la realidad.

Un recueil de texte littéraires sur la démocration sous toutes ses formes.
Les vrais embrasements s'en viennent sans crier gare. Comme si l'Histoire se passait de transitions, d'évolutions progressives. Jusqu'au point de rupture, tout semble baigner, et puis, tout à coup, rien ne va plus, au point que le retour en arrière semble impensable, que toute Restauration est exclue.
