Présentation de l’éditeur
Pourquoi le père d’Anne a-t-il demandé, dans son testament, qu’on donne à une certaine dame résidant à Genève le disque bien connu d’Edith Piaf Hymne à l’amour ? Pourquoi la même chanson a-t-elle une si grande importance pour sa mère, comme si elle avait été l’hymne national d’une passion défunte ?Plus tard, bien plus tard, Anne partira pour Genève, à la recherche de la mystérieuse dame qu’avait aimée son père. Ce beau livre, écrit avec tendresse, recèle bien d’autres histoires. Par exemple celle de Madeleine, qui avait illuminé les jeunes années de l’auteur. Il était si doux, pour les enfants, de se blottir contre ses jolis seins. Malgré la déchéance finale de Madeleine, elle aussi inspire un hymne à l’amour.De temps en temps, l’illustre grand-père, François Mauriac, apparaît au moment le plus insolite. Va-t-il se fâcher ? Le temps qui a passé permet d’en rire. On oublie pour un instant tous ces cœurs blessés, qu’Anne Wiazemsky sait faire renaître avec l’ambiguïté du souvenir.
This novel ties together the lives of a girl who is taken from her family when she is 7 years old to be raised in the Ottoman harem and a young woman who is getting married at about that same time. Their stories are told side by side, smoothly shifting back and forth between narratives and their connection is tantalizingly concealed until late in the story. There is a moment in the book when one character appears in the other character’s story and the reader discovers how the two stories, seemingly isolated, were in fact connected from the beginning. Though they have lead more or less completely separate lives, they learn the same lesson and are able to ultimately make peace with themselves.
Avec Permis C, prequel au roman Le Cul entre deux chaises (2014), Joseph Incardona revient à son personnage fétiche et alter ego, André Pastrella. Dans une alternance bien pesée d’humour et de noirceur, il y parle des bouleversements de l’enfance, de ce que chacun de nous rencontre pour la première fois. Roman initiatique, du souvenir, roman des tragédies et légendes de la vie immigrée, il est aussi une formidable mise en perspective fictionnelle des épreuves qui nous déterminent.
The novel “Sounds of the Night” is a family saga of rich Ortachlias living in Anatolia, which covers the history of four generations. The action takes place mainly in Anatolia, on the Bozova estate, from the 1920s to the early 2000s. The luxurious Ortachlia Palace keeps a lot of secrets, intrigues or love stories of its inhabitants. The example of the Ortachlia family clearly shows the events that took place in Turkey during this period, the political battles and the endless military coups that had an impact on the society of that time, on the relations between the generations. The novel tells a lot of stories of different characters, the logical end of which is the secret revealed by the diary accidentally discovered by the daughter in the mother’s drawer, which answers all the questions and turns the reader’s attitude towards this or that character upside down. The novel was received with great interest by the readers from the beginning, however, in recent years Aishe Culin has shared the fate of Elif აფafak and has also appeared to critics who have sharply criticized the writer for his moments depicting pedophilia.
