The will, followed by Cross loveless, Heinrich Böll

Overview: These two works completed loveless Cross in 1947 and The Testament written in 1948, are among the earliest writings of Heinrich Böll and illuminate the genesis of his work.

In The Testament, 1943, on the Atlantic Wall, two officers compete: the Catholic Rhineland concerned about the lives of his men, the fanatical Prussian order and discipline. They reveal their true nature in Russia.

Cross loveless recounts the fate of a Catholic family from 1933 to 1945.Two brothers are opposed: the first, attracted by Nazi ideology, the second champion of individual resistance to the regime. Their reunion on the Russian front will be tragic.

The author describes his experience of war, a huge waste of human, but in the depths of abandonment, the opportunity to prove to ourselves, a glimpse of a chance of salvation.

These texts are marked with an impression that belongs only Böll humanist: the authenticity and an exasperated faith in God.

Born in Cologne in 1917 into a Catholic family, Heinrich Böll was convened in spring 1939 for a short period until 1945. Back in his hometown, he emerged as the leading writers of the postwar generation. Several collections of essays, a hundred stories, a dozen novels that mark his literary career, crowned by the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972. He died July 16, 1985.

Translated from German by Alain Huriot

Impressions: I had the feeling of having found a nugget. Two stories, two facets of Heinrich Böll. "The Testament" is a critic of corruption and mediocrity of the German army. "The cross without love" is unquestionably a work of major Catholic .....

The idealist and humanist Christian conflict. One is committed to his country, unaware that it has signed a deal with the horror ... He rejected without really find his faith and his friends, on behalf of an Ideal named 'Germany'. Although in his quest he finds evil ... The other is a dreamer opposed to national socialism ....

A vigorous style, an almost mystical background. A true aesthetic shock !!!!!!! A Bernanos German? ...

worried man, Henning Mankell

History: Grandfather of a small Klara, Wallander has made his dreams: to live in the countryside with his dog.

After referring to the commissioner the cold war and a case of Russian submarines in Swedish waters, the stepfather of his daughter Linda, a former naval officer, disappears, then it's the turn of the stepmother .Suspicions of espionage. In favor of Russia? U.S.? Parallel to the Stockholm police and secret services, Wallander pursues its latest survey. He then started his own deep diving: the years passed and the women in his life parade. And the little Klara became his ultimate tag.

The author: Born in 1948, Henning Mankell divides his time between Sweden and Mozambique. Famous for its police officers, it is also the author of plays, books for youth and novels. Last published as: The Italian Footwear (Seuil, 2009).

Impressions: It's hard to classify this book among thrillers ... In the latest survey (well constructed) of his hero, the author takes a sort of diary of his anguish and depression that awaits the approach of old age ....

The hero is none other than Henning Mankell himself, is being weakened gradually have more and more health concerns, and sees the specter of Alzheimer lapping around him. Without falling into pathos and the sentimental, this book reminds us of the greatest weakness of modern man: a man who has lost meaning and hope. A man who, nearing its end does not know what to hang on ....

Impressions: The first chapters packed me, my former suspicions were flying one after the other. I even went so far MYSELF congratulate telling me that everything had finally read the good books were not where the thought ....... But the plot thickened from the second half of the book ... The good novel has been transformed, not into a pumpkin, but manifest cradingue pro-lesbian and other oddities that frankly had nothing to do with the plot. As for the denouement, one hesitates between pity, irritability, anger, and eventually want to cry foul. It's really shocking that a book so pitiful denouement, which will look into the tricks of the da vinci code to appease the readers in search of thrill anti-Catholic ... (And yes .. The Opus Dei is still in the figure ....)

that this book gets the prize Renaudot !!!.. Here I do not know what to think ...

Impressions: This is really not the best of the author ... Trying too hard to do ... well ... We did too!

This book deserves to blunt cuts to give a bit of pace to the plot. The reader has trouble "hanging", his attention was constantly dispersed descriptions a bit long ...

Over 650 pages where you find the time long, it's a safe bet that you will not hold the shock ... And yet ... What a pity ... The plot was good and yet sympathetic characters ... Read all the same, not hesitating to skip pages ...

The Léviatemps, Maxime Chattam

The story: Too much desire death, broiled soul. Paris, 1900. Prisoner of its success, a writer decides to leave everything to go deep in his nightmares, its depths, explore what is worst in him. In this fertile fears hides the matrix monsters buried in us all. A Leviathan Shadow, a golem of violence. Guy wanted to dig up the dirt Timaeus, he will meet with evil. Esoteric circles of the capital to the excesses of the Expo, the beginning of the twentieth century inspires Maxime Chattam hallucinated a thriller where the progress of science feed the madness of lost souls in search of eternity.


Impressions: I always wondered how an author with such a pretty face and an air of perfect in-law could also have distorted ideas ..... Maxime Chattam takes us once again in a solid thriller, well constructed and bloody wish. His art lies in attention to detail, where chance has no place.
We both ride in a complex investigation and convincing, but in a Paris reconstituted with brio, the reader is totally immersed in that time. I read the book, a map of Paris by hand to try to identify the places he is talking about .. (Yes I know I've got all ..:))
A criminal investigation although difficult for his characters, a beautiful archaeological survey for the reader.
Nice work once again!

Philippe Claudel Survey

History: The Investigator is responsible for a mission in the Enterprise, it happens in a city where it loses its bearings. Concern the win. What happens to him on? Who are these people?

I RINTING: Future, so they do not include 

A worthy heir to Kafka and Aldous Huxley to whom he borrowed themes and atmosphere in a nightmarish fable and oppressive. The author takes us on a journey to the border of madness and absurdity. The reader is sucked, chewed, heckled, turn-balled by a current that leads the hero to nowhere. A powerful experience that sounds like a cry of alarm about the meaning of our lives.

A must read ...

'In each of these boxes, he said to himself, he is a man, a man like him, who had been heckled, abused, we had been led to expect, which had been led to believe he had a mission to fill a role to play, a place to exist, we did mess around, humiliated, belittled, which had been designated the fragility of his condition, his memories and his convictions, an investigator may or be claimed as a man who now shouted and banged against the walls and nobody could help him ....'

Suite (s) imperial (s), Bret Easton Ellis

The sequel, 25 years after "less than zero '... The author of trashy'American Psycho 'known for his novels always on the border of fantasy and good taste was highly anticipated .. Unfortunately he does not sign here a landmark book ...

Clay, quarantine, returned to Los Angeles for vague reasons of work, he found 25 years after his former friends become unrecognizable by plastic surgery. Used as a screenwriter, he lets himself be enchanted by a young actress who thinks that missed its charms replace his lack of talent.
All the action takes place among these people desperate to get someone hoping to become .. Pathetic characters in sordid circumstances, readers journey into the world (im) pathetic show business.
But the mayonnaise does not ....
The action is disjointed, unconvincing plot, the book sounds a bit hollow.
In short: bof, bof ....
You can expect that kind of pocket that one!

The color of feelings, Kathryn Stockett

History: Among Whites in Jackson, Mississippi, it is black who are cleaning, cooking and caring for children. It is 1962, racial laws are authoritative.
A young middle-class white and two black good. Nobody would believe in their friendship. Yet driven by a secret desire to change things, despite the fear, they will unite their destinies, and in secret to write a story upsetting. Exciting, funny, poignant, this book has conquered America with its unforgettable characters. Sold over two million copies, this first novel became a cultural phenomenon in America.

Impressions: I see your mines already skeptical, even a book blaming and moralizing. Another book well in tune with the times, and a little easier sopo. You're tired of the box of Uncle Tom .....
Well, you're wrong ....
This book is a marvel ...
The author does not stop that the relationship between communities (in this incredible environment of the twentieth century it said ..) but offers a reflection on the Status of Women in the South where conservative. Without dogmatism, this book is intended as an overview of a melancholy that nothing has rocked the youth of Kathryn Stockett.

There is no subject more risky for a writer of the South that the affection between a person black and one white in the unequal world of segregation. Because the dishonesty on which is founded a company makes suspect all emotion, making it impossible to know whether what was exchanged between two persons was a loyal sense of pity or pragmatism. Howell Raines.

But this book is not a treaty sociological and far!
The characters are likeable, the situations ring true, humor underlying and omnipresent About lightens and gives a healthy distance on a topic that may seem cumbersome.

I read in one go and I'm sure you will do the same ....

Demolition notices, Frederick Montlouis-Felicite

Here's a small wonder by a member of the small literary bf.

This is the first book of the author.

Eight new black all over and well written as each other.

Eight characters representing various aspects of our society.

Eight figures a chilling because nothing terribly close to us.

The topics are serious and grim, the style is still light and fast. To find out, hoping that there will be more ...

The man who stopped writing, Marc-Edouard Nabe: Grand Nabe

Author: Marc-Edouard Nabe, 51, 28 pounds to the counter, enfant terrible of French literature. Wherever he goes, everybody passes away. He likes to "kill" in his books, being a lover or understatement or restraint .... At age 27 he managed to commit suicide on mediatically "apostrophe" where he screams his hatred of licra and small écrivailleux untalented. He screams his love for Celine and Rebatet .... Suffice to say that the politically correct do not like it ....
Yet, his last book was shortlisted for the prize Renaudot ... He who no longer wish to cook something up with the publishing world has chosen to self-publish and self-distribute ... Do not look for it on the gondolas of bookstores he does not want to be .... It is for anti-publishing ....


The story: As you stop smoking, the narrator is the author decides to stop writing.Forced to leave his house he met a young blogger who leads in a succession of facets of Parisian life.
Without taking a breath, the reader is drawn into a vision of a decaying Paris where the poor and the virtual model is made a new life.

Impressions: Nabe was dead, long live !!!!! Nabe
Unable to close the book. The 700 pages can be read in one sitting. The torture of a beautiful book in a chapter written with genius!
In the manner of a slightly crazy Pausanias, the author stumbled and staggered traveler, we will discover what makes the world 'intellectual' today. We meet hundreds of characters known or unknown ... It "kills" with lightness and engineering all the people he meets, through their showing their weaknesses ....
You walk into places trendy 'place to be, facebook Jack Bauer, the new codes of' hipness' seen with the decline of a man that his time left.
Far from being just a settling of accounts (what his detractors accuse him), the author provides plenty of humor with a review of our sad world ...

This amateur loves to play jazz with the music of words, the rhythm of sentences. The style is very fast, the sentences are short and punchy.
A free-form jazz literary underlying melody and catchy that gives this novel the size of a Great.
Mr. Nabe, continue to stop writing we will continue to stop you ... Until next time!

"Enjoy" Annie Lemoine

Women like the leak .. In all cases it is a theme in vogue this year on the shelves of our libraries ..
Claire, 40, a divorce (obviously), two children, chose to flee this life so cruel to spend a weekend at the hotel by the sea ..
As this woman a little bored, she extrapolates its neighbors bowl of coffee and think I found enough to fill his life so commonplace. She calls one of his friends who gave him this advice so profound: "fun" it sure is better than you ... emm ...- His life as the digest is then disrupted (tremolo LOUD please) ..

Without doubt the biggest scam of this new literary ... Annie Lemoine says his life (we even have the right to a description of issues for a champion if I if!) Thinking that his magic feather (mouaii she has not quite rub) will compensate for the emptiness of his novel .. It's crazy that it publishes people like that ... If you pass this book, but mostly quietly chuckles are not buying!!

Even silence has a purpose

Impressions: I think I read a lot of the existing narratives of captivity. In other words: It knows me!
So I opened this book jaded. We had heard so much bad about this woman that I had some qualms about putting me. And finally, I was completely caught up.
In the manner of a diary of his captivity, Ingrid Bettencourt said his daily life, the chains around their necks, humiliation, dehumanization. We share it with hunger, fear, false joys, sorrows, the nightmare of overcrowding and uncertainty.
This testimony is beautiful, well written and poignant. I challenge anyone to put manage to close this book without feeling ...
With humility and modesty, she is engaged, telling how she was disappointed itself of its petty desires and laborers for the better part, the best place. How much she suffered in this 'green hell'.
It provides the key that allowed him to survive for 6 long years: the messages of his family, escape attempts, the friendship with some inmates and especially an intense spiritual quest that will allow it to make sense of the senseless .
But it is also a wonderful adventure book. It keeps us in suspense from the first to the last page. We live with it every failure, every bite of insects, one shudders to crocodiles and other critters all larger and repulsive as each other ...
So I have to say is not to get into the game and jealous of other researchers lice and let yourself be touched by this story. Someone who signed his book "I had just been born, there was more in me nothing but love. I fell to my knees before the world, the sky and thanked in advance for everything who was to come. "this person can not be that bad right?

Discussion about Houellebecque

Last night was the traditional meal of "military women," test if it is a discussion that deserves review nonetheless identified some level of gossip ...

- Houellebecq has it converted? What messages to decipher in his new book?

Helena after talking shops "unavoidable" in Biarritz, asks me bluntly: "I'm reading Houellebecq and I wonder in particular, I do not understand why he chooses to take the stage with this update abyss in amazing, I think there is something behind this. "
After having answered that the two characters represented in my view both sides of his personality. A positive, friendly and creative man, who managed everything, the other depressed, sickly, inspiring pity and perhaps a little reluctantly. It dies. And then Ze question: Is this the death of the "old man" ie Baptism ?????
This highly personal book where the author shares his anxieties about old age, his relationship to another, his father, will 't it a step further by delivering a parable to illustrate his conversion?
This probably explains why this book is so radically different from what he used to write.
When do you think Houellebecq is he going to become the new Catholic author boasted in fam 'chret ?????

The fall of giants, Ken Follet

Impressions: Ken Follet is undoubtedly a wonderful storyteller. You never get bored one second reading of this impressive volume. The action is rhythmic, precise style.Gentleman is not an amateur ... It is in the tradition of great novelists such as Tolstoy found in the breath combined with the romantic interests of historical accuracy.Eugenio Corti, or as in "red horse", the author tries to make us understand and experience the views and mechanisms that have led each actor and current politics of the time. In this chapter you will become a supporter of Lenin for the next chapter hope that the Russian nobility regain its luster.
Policy and decisions that led to the decoded War are here "as if we were there."History through them thus becomes much more real than in a book with glossy paper and dates to memorize ....
For those who like history and stories.
The bet is won, the second volume strongly !!!!!!

With Celeste, my planet, released in 2007 in the journal "I Bookish" before being published by Gallimard Jeunesse, in the collection Folio Junior, he takes up the theme of the living planet, with perhaps a little less ultimate line.

Impressions: Yoko Ogawa is an author that I discovered some time ago thanks to the small bookshop in Biarritz (Naked Lunch) where I go as regularly as possible ...

Since she became one of my favorite authors ...

Like all his books, writing is a very fine, fair and always feminine. There is just enough mystery and fantasy to give his stories (a little sad I must admit) a nice dreamlike quality.

A book for women, men are far too unbalanced to be part of the dream!
