Cette biographie de la faim, de ce désir jamais rassasié, de cette quête qui n'a jamais de fin, Amélie Nothomb la décline sous toutes ses formes, du ravissement à l'horreur, avec brio, douleur, amour, humour et lucidité, pour dire ce terrible paradoxe d'exister. Il s'en dégage une puissance de vision, une perception fatale où l'absolu et sa dérision se côtoient. C'est une mise à nu éblouissante où l'auteur est le sujet de son œuvre et qui prouve ô combien qu'Amélie Nothomb est un de nos grands auteurs contemporains.

"El loro de siete lenguas fue mi primera novela. No quise crear las aventuras de un personaje, sino las de un grupo de arquetipos, cada uno representando un aspecto de nuestra alma, tal como los veintidós arcanos mayores del Tarot.

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Faith Fox has led a life full of heartbreak and abandonment, lacking in simplicity and love - and she's not even one week old. She has suffered the unexpected and inexplicable loss of her mother in childbirth; her father, an overworked doctor grown callous with stress, has neither the ability nor the interest to take on the difficult task of raising his child alone; her grandmother, Thomasina, has decided to abscond to Egypt with a retired general rather than acknowledge and accept the loss of her daughter, whom she loved so distressingly well.

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

Fedele ai versi di Jorge Luis Borges, Nuccio Ordine ci invita a sperimentare la stessa umile fierezza suggerendoci di leggere (e rileggere) alcune delle più belle pagine della letteratura mondiale. Dopo "L'utilità dell'inutile", tradotto in 26 paesi, Ordine prosegue la sua battaglia per i classici, nella convinzione che un breve testo (illuminante e fuori dai sentieri battuti) possa suscitare la curiosità dei lettori e incoraggiarli a immergersi nell'intera opera.
