Des événements identiques peuvent être déchiffrés comme des réussites ou des catastrophes." (p. 190) "Il en est des destins comme des livres sacrés: c'est la lecture qui leur donne un sens. Le livre clos reste muet; il ne parlera que lorsqu'il sera ouvert; et la langue qu'il emploiera sera celle de celui qui s'y penche, teintée par ses attentes, ses désirs, ses aspirations, ses obsessions, ses violences, ses troubles. Les faits sont comme les phrases du livre, ils n'ont pas de sens par eux-mêmes, seulement le sens qu'on leur prête." (p. 191) "La nouvelle est une épure de roman, un roman réduit à l'essentiel." (p. 209) "Quand un livre est achevé, sa vie commence. À partir de ce soir, je n'en suis plus l'auteur. Ses auteurs seront désormais les lecteurs... Voltaire disait que les meilleurs livres sont ceux écrits à moitié par l'imagination du lecteur." (p. 216) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Stories from the bestselling author of The Most Beautiful Book in the World, "a prodigious storyteller with a style both elegant and assured" (Les Echos). In this collection's opening story, a woman with more skeletons in the closet than most falls in love with a parish priest, to whom she confesses her sins. But her motives and her intentions are anything but honorable or pious. The title story is the tale of two friends and rivals whose differences will at first lead to a terrifying and near fatal accident, and then to a vendetta lasting a lifetime. In "The Return," while away at sea, a father is told that one of his four daughters has died but not which. He will ask himself the question no father should have to ask: which child would he want dead? His long ruminations will lead him to a realization of his failings as a man and a father and ultimately toward a touching transformation. "Love at the Elysée Palace" is as fine a short story as any in contemporary literature, and one that treats the themes of love, marriage, and forgiveness with superb delicacy and remarkable tenderness. In this vivid collection, Schmitt writes about regret and redemption, about the roles of love and memory in our lives, all with a lightness and compassion that is as rare as it is inspiring. "A wonderful book of remarkable everyday heroes who will haunt readers for a long time to come." --L'Express "A small masterpiece." --Le Parisien Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
