"I just need to travel alone and stay silent twenty-four hours to confront the passage of time. In reality, I needed something else. I needed, I believe, share some time with an amiable stolen unknown. "
In the midst of weariness at the heart of the economic crisis, Christopher, a cultural Belgian fifty years on the brink of bankruptcy, wants to slow down and refocus on values more accurate. Because "life points from time to time that the world is very small," he decides to stop and leave. It will be for Portugal, by train. As the sky clouds adds, Christopher crosses on the station platform a stranger, Emma, he will find time to travel between Brussels and Lisbon, during a long and beautiful conversation at once tender, poignant, and always sincere. Dannemark Francis, with all the delicacy and elegance that characterize it, gives us his usual short novel, subtle and delicate, the things of life.
+ + + + + + My opinion
I had occasion to read a book by Francis Dannemark it few years ago. It was "Man of September" , a book that I remembered as a good time, a short but pleasant moment. Once again I see Francis Dannemark an expert on short distances not the kind you get into a novel where the mileage you get lost on their way through mountains and forests. Not Francis Dannemark likes brevity seems to control it and it pretty well with this novel it. Heavy mere 91 pages, Belgian author offers us a novella really beautiful!
Gifted with a beautiful title and a back cover of the most attractive, " From now things are going at the end of a long winter" had everything to please me. And much to say at the outset, it has reached that expected pleasure and more. This short novel or novella, of Dannemark Francis is a true gem. I am regularly Order this book to read and reread a passage, a sentence or a moment of life, just for the pleasure of eating. Because yes, sometimes, a good book is like a good Belgian chocolate: it is eaten by keeping long finish.
over the rails, while the miles pass beneath their feet, the two characters in the book will meet and appreciate. Untying all the memories of their lives, small and big things, what to expect and what we lost, what life gives and takes. Francis Dannemark crystallizes in this novel a lot of times, small pleasures like great sadness. A book resolutely turned towards the human a text that discusses the pleasure to slow down, take time to enjoy life and the present moment. In the end, you come out with pleasure and happiness of reading a novel that has just one flaw to be too short. But it is so thin it has at least the advantage of being easily re-read. Thank you sir Dannemark for this beautiful moment of reading!
+ + + + + + But still
I thank once again the Editions Robert Laffont to read this book as part of the Critical Mass . I also thank Babelio for this action and its renewed confidence in my columns.
