The Italian writer Alessandro Baricco discussed his book 'I barbari' with Frans Timmermans in Felix Meritis, Amsterdam. 'I Barbari' is a collection of his articles in the Italian daily 'La Repubblica'. Technological innovation, social mobility and globalisation put pressure on civilised society.

Is there still a place for inspiration in the modern era? Baricco claims that we must simply realise that the situation is not one of civilisation on one side and barbarism on the other. Today's culture is in a state of mutation; not a clash, but a transition from an old to a new culture is taking place. Baricco delivered an optimistic plea for the future of our culture.
