Jean-François Billeter's Publication on Georg Christoph Lichtenberg in artpress

In the February 2015 issue of artpress (number 419), Jean-François Billeter published a work titled "Lichtenberg" through Allia. This publication focuses on Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799), who was born near Darmstadt in the Principality of Hanover, then under English crown rule. Lichtenberg demonstrated early literary talent, becoming a prolific versifier. At age 17, he enrolled in university studies. The son of a cultured pastor with scientific interests, his background influenced his intellectual development. Billeter's work appears on page 74 of the magazine, examining this historical figure's contemporary relevance.
