Chaired by Jacques Attali and comprised of Christophe Barbier, André Bercoff, Malek Chebel, François de Closets, Roger-Pol Droit, Luc Ferry, Caroline Fourest, Alexandre Lacroix, Aude Lancelin and Olivier Poivre d’Arvor, the jury for the “Prix Bristol des Lumières” deliberated on December 2nd and retained three essays for its 2015 vintage : “Jules Ferry et l’Enfant Sauvage” by Mara Goyet (Flammarion), “La France Périphérique” by Christophe Guilluy (Flammarion), and “Une Question de Taille” by Olivier Rey (Stock). Paying tribute to philosophers of the Age of Enlightenment, the prize rewards a philosophical, political or social essay published in the previous year. The winner - to be unveiled at the end of January on France Inter - will enjoy a night in a suite at the Bristol and be the guest of honour at an evening on the theme of “Books and Wine” open to the hotel’s clients.
