Entre polar exotique et roman historique, voilà un copieux mille-feuille servi par un Britannique qui a longtemps vécu au Japon et qui y expédie son héros, Jacob De Zoet. Nous sommes en 1799 et ce jeune Hollandais au visage de Viking vient de débarquer sur une île de la baie de Nagasaki, où les marchands de son pays sont installés pour faire du commerce avec les Japonais. David Mitchell fait magnifiquement revivre cette époque oubliée où l'Orient et l'Occident se télescopent dans une joyeuse pagaille et dans une incompréhension mutuelle. Sorte de Candide égaré chez les shoguns, Jacob aura tout loisir d'observer cette comédie souvent pitoyable, toujours drôle, avant de tomber amoureux d'une belle geisha prisonnière d'un monastère qui ressemble à une forteresse sadienne... Résultat : un subtil cocktail de cruauté nipponne et de suspense à la Umberto Eco. « Entre polar exotique et roman historique, un récital littéraire qui consacre la magie du verbe. » —L'Express  Joop-le-philosophe | Dec 18, 2018 |
 There are no easy answers or facile connections in “The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.” In fact, it’s not an easy book, period. Its pacing can be challenging, and its idiosyncrasies are many. But it offers innumerable rewards for the patient reader and confirms Mitchell as one of the more fascinating and fearlesswriters alive. Another Booker Prize nomination is likely to greet this ambitious and fascinating fifth novel—a full-dress historical, and then some—from the prodigally gifted British author For his many and enthusiastic admirers — critics, prize juries, readers — the fecundity of Mitchell’s imagination marks him as one of the most exciting literary writers of our age. Indeed, in 2007, he was the lone novelist on Time’ s annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Through five novels, most impressively with his 2004 novel, Cloud Atlas, Mitchell has demonstrated flat-out ambition with respect to testing — sometimes past their breaking points — the conventions of storytelling structure, perspective, voice, language and range. The result, according to Mitchell’s rare detractors, is an oeuvre marked by imaginative wizardry and stylistic showmanship put on offer for their own sake. For most everyone else, however, Mitchell’s writing is notable because its wizardry and showmanship are in the service of compulsively readable stories and, at its best moments, are his means of revealing, in strange places and stranger still ways, nothing less than the universals of human experience. Though direct in its storytelling, Jacob de Zoet marks a return to full amplitude. That means occasionally over-long scenes and one or two rambling monologues. But it also guarantees fiction of exceptional intelligence, richness and vitality.  With “The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet,” David Mitchell has traded in the experimental, puzzlelike pyrotechnics of “Ghostwritten” and “Number9Dream” for a fairly straight-ahead story line and a historical setting. He’s meticulously reconstructed the lost world of Edo-era Japan, and in doing so he’s created his most conventional but most emotionally engaging novel yet: it’s as if an acrobatic but show-offy performance artist, adept at mimicry, ventriloquism and cerebral literary gymnastics, had decided to do an old-fashioned play and, in the process, proved his chops as an actor. Prix et récompensesDistinctionsListes notables
1799, Dejima in Nagasaki Harbor. Jacob de Zoet, a devout and resourceful young clerk, has a chance encounter with Orito Aibagawa, the disfigured daughter of a samurai doctor and midwife to the city's powerful magistrate. The borders between propriety, profit, and pleasure blur until Jacob finds his vision clouded, one rash promise made and then fatefully broken--the consequences of which will extend beyond Jacob's worst imaginings.
