Elogio de la transmision
Este diálogo entre Cécile Ladjali, una joven profesora agregada de literatura del liceo de un suburbio parisino, y George Steiner, erudito y profesor de renombre internacional, da pie a un intercambio de puntos de vista acerca del recurso a los clásicos, la puesta en práctica de una pedagogía de la exigencia y la satisfacción de enseñar y de recibir. De la experiencia de Cécile Ladjali, empeñada en que sus alumnos sean capaces de pensar por sí mismos, nace esta larga conversación con George Steiner. De la lucha empecinada de una profesora contra la amnesia planificada de muchos de los actuales sistemas educativos surge esta reflexión dialogada, que no sólo elogia la transmisión del saber, sino la de una actitud en la que ninguno de los dos polos educativos ha de sentirse ajeno al instinto compartido de crear al lado de nuestros semejantes.

Este libro lo tuve que leer para una clase de Pedagogía y me dejó sentimientos encontrados. Por un lado, leer a ambos hablar con tanto amor y dedicación sobre la educación es inspirador, en especial a Cécile. Pero por el otro, la relación entre ellos dos se me hizo un tanto rara y me terminó dando la impresión de que Steiner trataba de menos a Cécile mientras que ella estaba muy cegada de admiración por él. Aparte del comentario que hace Steiner sobre que la mujer no puede ser maestra y que no hay alumnas brillantes tampoco, cuando las mujeres fueron tenidas en cuenta entre poco y nada en el transcurso de la historia.
