Microsomeis a philosophical poem which demands of its readers an effort of ingenuity characteristic of the microcosm-man : the account of humankind’s intellectual and technological adventure makes sense in the narrative context of Adam and Eve wrestling with the incommensurable loss of their son.

Review - French En 1562, pour ecrire son grand oeuvre, Maurice Sceve s'inspire du modele analogique du macrocosme et du microcosme mais en choisissant le seul terme de microcosme, il le renouvelle completement. Ce n'est plus l'analogie qui l'emporte mais le petit monde, l'homme, dans un parti pris philosophique clair. Soumis aux vicissitudes et aux erreurs qui l'accablent, l'homme sera curieux et ingenieux. Poeme philosophique et biblique,Microcosmefonctionne sur la simplicite d'une histoire-cadre, celle d'Adam et Eve devant surmonter non pas tant l'epreuve de la faute originelle que le deuil incommensurable de leur fils Abel. Dans cette histoire-cadre s'insere un recit, souvent hermetique, du deploiement dans le temps et l'espace des sciences et des arts, signes de ce curieux desir qui definit le genre humain.
