Hanotte, fires fragile in the coming night

To continue what I started in the previous message, if I read this novel - and even though I bought it almost "blindly" as my father said, it is not on any recommendation, after reading the 4th coverage or function of the cover illustration (but I though ... 'it back). If I read this book because I like Xavier Hanotte writes, as I've said here .

I'll try to make you feel what the book and reading it awakened in me.
And first, as promised, I return to the cover illustration: it looks a lot like "The Island deaths "of Böcklin is, I soon discover, the island where the lights shine in the night ... A Venetian reminiscence for me: I am often asked if thought had Böcklin San Michele title or to Torcello, though the trees are not so tall.
And the title decasyllabic a sweet, nostalgic perhaps, a hopeful note for me: fragile but resistant

discover on the site Actes Sud

Small exercise: what made me want to read this novel? First
the superb coverage: this photo turquoise retained my attention immediately; beautiful object - like all novels Actes Sud, moreover, with this cream paper, thick
... And then the subject: a Renaissance painter - less often chosen as a character that Leonardo da Vinci or Titian - an interesting anecdote: the confrontation between East and West at a turning point ... The author then
: good reputation for area - I have not read ...
Finally the recommendation of the blog "Small readings with friends " held by Constance, a high school girl who loved to read ... A little reluctance
a priori, however: a book really thin, which does not always leave time to go in the novel, especially historical fiction.
And on arrival? A slight disappointment with so many expectations but it is often the case, is not it?
So, Michelangelo, which is still a sculptor, has fled Rome and Pope Julius II who do not pay, more concerned with war than art, he is jealous of his colleagues it would be more fortunate than him, especially Raphael and Bramante. He arrived in Istanbul where the Sultan (the one that Racine appoint Bajazet) wants him to build a bridge across the Golden Horn, a difficult task that Leonard has attempted without success. This is a powerful motive for the choleric Toscan: succeed where Vinci failed.

I continue to demand vowel and consonant , the chain started by others .. . Two days
reflection in response to an invitation ... I can never answer these questions: books would you take to a desert island, your favorite authors ... : It changes daily, depending on weather, mood, memories, ... And
hesitation, which playwrights choose the ones I worked a scene? Philosophers Voltaire and Diderot (no Rousseau, not him) ...
And then (I am ashamed to admit ... but anyway), what image it will he give me?
Well, I decided to choose very, very tentative, I will classify (at least at first) chronological order of discovery:

1. Countess de Segur : my first novel writer, one who gave me the love of reading, especially The Inn of the Guardian Angel and General Dourakine (love stories, I always liked that)
2. Alexandre Dumas (père) : Love Always: Monte Cristo this time!
3. Emile Verhaeren : poems studied in school, which I appreciated much later poetry, especially today: "Here's the wind, wild wind of November ... "
4. Marie Gevers : for all texts but particularly Goodness meteors , read with the approach of winter waiting for spring
5. Boris Vian : songs, poems (yellow Waltz) , days The Surf, The Rise of an Empire : the first modern play I ever saw, teen
6. Fedor Dostoevsky : I read The Brothers Karamazov to 17 years: shock unforgettable!
7. Marcel Proust: I have long resisted and then, I have been obliged to spend. A experience that marks you. Without doubt, getting back to what I said earlier, that I'll take on a desert island.
8. Colette : his articles, short texts more than his novels.
9. Umberto Eco for Name of the Rose, Lector in Fabula, and hairpieces Pastiches ...
10. Michel de Ghelderode : for all that he wrote (not necessarily his ideas)!
11. Leonardo Sciascia : a unique look at Italian politics in post-war Candido (a small memory certificate Italian) , Sea of wine color, The Inquisitor ...
12. Molière for all but especially for Dom Juan
13. Xavier Hanotte : because I am very sensitive to what he writes and it's very "Belgian", I mean very consistent with a climate, a way of being ... that are ours.
14. Agatha Christie: because I like the police and mind games (another discovery child)
15. Iain Pears: The Circle because of the cross is a novel total. And I would add

still quite a few others (Boyden, Erdrich, Anouilh, Ellroy, Racine, Baudelaire, Chekhov, Cocteau, Giono, Roth, Bayard ...) but also because his plays Feydeau sparkle and the holidays approaching (we hung the Christmas lights in my neighborhood).
I want to pass the baton to:

Anthony Bello, Investigation into the disappearance of Emilie Brunet

D'Antoine Bello, I read forgers and Candlelighters - with a small preference for the former, more politically correct. I admit to not having managed to finish Praise the missing piece . This does not prevent me to rush to buy this Investigation into the disappearance of Emily Brunet . And I'm not disappointed, although I have not recommended reading for my mother, reader of thrillers but it undoubtedly disappoint.
Because, really, I'm not convinced that this novel is a police officer even though, not to spill the beans, I will not elaborate my arguments here.
History in a nutshell: Achilles does Dunot more in the police since an accident - which I fear could happen to me: his library it tumbled on the head as he tried to grab a book on the crime novel - has rendered amnesiac. But not just any amnesia: anterograde amnesia: understand that if Dunot easily remembers all that he lived before his accident, he forgets one day to another what happens to him. The detective has a passion for Agatha Christie that he knows almost all the work by heart. One day, he was asked to investigate the disappearance of Emily Brunet: it is not returned from a hike with her lover and when her husband went to report his disappearance, he was beaten by the policeman on duty, yet strong opponent of the method. Brunet is a specialist in cognitive science and brain; university professor, you do not know the number of students who have succumbed to its beauty and its seductive power. Yet from the outset, Durois is convinced he wants to prove his guilt. How yet when we forget everything overnight? Achilles decides each evening to note as accurately as possible the steps of his investigation to read the next morning. And lurched he goes to work in these conditions.
So for me it is not a true crime novel. What then? A wonderful tribute to Agatha Christie, a work of scholarship on intertextuality, which renews the challenge of Tristram Shandy Sterne ... All this at a time without doubt. It remains stuck, it tries to enter the process and then ... read it and you'll see. Also a tribute to Pierre Bayard and his Who Killed Roger Ackroyd? who, himself, wrote "Test police" which is also Bello explicit reference.
Anyway, here's a novel that deserves to be chosen by Le Soir as winner of the Renaudot - I take this opportunity to recommend the online journal of Pierre Maury: "It's in the pocket "
vowel and consonant: I saw that you had also written a critique of the novel but I am retaining the read before posting mine to not be influenced. Now I'm going to start! (Not to indulge me, I handed criticism of the Enard later!)

Leo Perutz an author unfairly Lost (2) Leo Perutz

I still here the presentation of other novels that Perutz I read and I heartily recommend.

In the historical genre, too, The Judas Leonardo depicts Leonardo da Vinci, pressed by the Dominicans to finish his Supper. He balks, however, unable to find where he is the right model for the character of Judas. And now that chance is on its way a German merchant come retrieve an old family debt from a Jewish merchant from Milan and will implement an inglorious ploy to get there. This novel, written after the war is said to be largely inspired by a reflection on the Holocaust.
With Frank Paul, he wrote in 1916 his second novel, originally conceived as a movie script. The Miracle of mango .

Dr. Kircheisen, toxicologist Vienna, is one day introduced to Baron Voghera whose Indian servant has been the victim of a terrible snake smuggled into the large greenhouse in the field. The doctor is soon confronted with a mystery: Baron, renowned mountaineer seems very old to the exploits attributed to him, his fiancee speaks of Gretl, his future daughter-like a little girl as she appears to have a couple of decades but behaves like a child. Kircheisen began to investigate quietly. As often with Perutz, is a variation on a myth, in this case, that of original sin as stated at the outset the presence of the tree and the serpent.

"But sin, here, has humor, because it is played entirely" in miniature "in the tropical greenhouse of a Viennese Baron (JJPollet).

unjustly neglected novelist

In the November 2010 issue Read , Vincent Leo Perutz Delecroix wants out of purgatory and he's right.
His misfortune, as he recalls, was to have been the fellow, almost contemporary and colleague of a famous Prague residents who attracted all the glory to him, Kafka. But also for addressing issues from the perspective of the metaphysical picaresque tale, historical novel, the story, which you will agree is not very serious! In the foreword of Judas Leonardo , JPSicre wrote:

Another source of misunderstanding: the role that history plays in many of his novels [...]. For the French, the historical novel is a genre in which the seductive, in all cases, are unworthy of a facility: whether it is to claim the past as a pure decor including exotic enough to be himself (Hugo, Dumas and colleagues of the past century) is that we seek to disguise the serious story told under the guise of attractive ' a novelistic convention (which would be rather the fashion of our sad end of a century). Some difficulty that we are given, Perutz's works do not fall into one or the other of these categories. It is also not so much novels "historical" novels that use history as a weapon surreptitiously perverted: the sole purpose of ending, it seems, with the dictatorship of the time. And what else did the great novelists of the Europe Central, Schnitzler and Kafka to Roth, Broch and Perutz, if not escape the illusions of this false reassuring if taken over time to achieve enough distance to see - see and do - the secret horror? (Coll. 10/18, pp.11, 12).

I discovered the novelist by chance and if I remember correctly, on the recommendation of the owner of the bookstore Molière in Charleroi - place that I would strongly recommend to fans! Some books I've read Perutz, if the FNAC is still in its catalog, I am afraid that apart The Swedish Cavalier Judas and The Da , published in Phoebus it fault rather turn to libraries.

So The Swedish Cavalier I read it first and I was so pleased that I chose to make a teaching file as part of the publication of a compendium for teachers of French, for obscure reasons of copyright, the collection has never been released ... finally (but I can connect the plug to interested colleagues).
