Schmitt a un style simple, légèrement académique, qui fait qu'il est bon mais pas excellent écrivain. Par contre, la sincérité et la simplicité des sentiments qu'il décrit font de lui un excellent conteur. Cette série de cinq nouvelles, deux mystères et trois romances, sont prenantes et tour à tour émouvantes et gracieuses. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A collection of stories from the internationally bestselling author of The Most Beautiful Book in the World. "They read like modern fairy tales." --Foreword Reviews In this collection of stories, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt probes the paradox that the events that shape our lives are often the stuff of dreams, yet nonetheless true. Humor, tenderness, irony and exquisite writing have always been the hallmarks of Schmitt's work. Here, he adds a pinch of philosophy. In one story, a lovelorn writer seeks refuge in Ostende, a remote and charming town on the North Sea. His host is a solitary and eccentric octogenarian. The fairy-tale setting starts to work its magic and the old woman begins to tell her tale--an extraordinary story of passion. Bewitched by what he hears, the writer can no longer distinguish what is real from what is not, and in the woman's account he will finally find a response to his own deep-seated grief. Here, as in the other stories in this collection, Schmitt displays the combination of stylishness and insight into the human condition that prompted Kirkus Reviews to write of his tales that they "echo Maupassant's with their lean narratives, surprise endings, mordant humor and psychological acuity." An exceptional collection by one of Europe's most beloved authors. "Schmitt works some powerful magic in these slim stories, proving that sincerity isn't the only route to truth." --NPR "One of Mr. Schmitt's chief strengths is the ability to precisely chronicle the shifts in his characters' mental and emotional states, a skill he employs to illuminate the changeable nature of the mind and heart." --Electric Literature Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
