Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. un excellent conteur ce E-E Schmitt, mais il ne devrait vraiment pas écrire : quel ramassis de lieux communs,de métaphores hasardeuses, d'approximations, voire d'erreurs, comme expliquer Ostende par son étymologie, c'est lui qui est à l'ouest : Ostende c'est l'est ...Ostende l'orientale (Oost signifie « est » en néerlandais ; ende est une ancienne forme de einde, extrémité, fin) Verhalenbundel, waarvan ik de eerste twee las. De rêveuse lijkt een doorslag van een stationsromannetje, maar Schmitt weet toch te boeien als een bevraging van het belang van fantasie voor de artiest (en voor het leven). Crime parfait is verhaaltechnisch veel sterker. SChmitt schrijft een soepel proza dat naar het klassieke neigt, maar toch eenvoudig blijft. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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 No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
