Jerzy Franczak comprehensively presents Jacques Ranciere's thought by emphasizing the relationship between politics and literature. This detailed analysis takes into account the context of modern aesthetics and political philosophy, as a result, the book introduces further protagonists such as Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, or Jean-Francois Lyotard. Franczak first reconstructs Ranciere's original philosophy of literature and subsequently apply it in readings of select world literature masterpieces by Gustav Flaubert, Max Jacob, Bertold Brecht, Vladimir Nabokov, and Philip Roth.
