Virtually nothing remains of Pierre de Coubertin’s ambitions, but the little theater of Olympism holds, staging the dream of a perfect world. This issue, edited by Marianne Amar, looks at how Olympism is shaped by, and acts on, reality, at the intersection of play and power. Also in this issue: The war in Gaza, how far can it go?; The last dawn; Milan Kundera and Central Europe; The young, accused; Does “Munich” concern us?; Kafka or the literature of the impossible.
