A masterpiece .... 22

For me one of the deepest and most successful novel by Francoise Sagan ... finitely studied the portrait of a director of German origin who made his career in the world of Hollywood glitz and returns in a Europe in the grip of Nazi earthquake .. Attractive, bright and light, it will be faced with a world that refuses to understand:

"He was a man who did not understand, it was necessary that the confessed once and for all. He was a happy man and decided to remain so by all the forces of cowardice and compromise." A man with watercolor blood ..
.
The events will force him to realize and position before the horrors he will be led to see and experience:

"He should pick up the dagger of the German army a soldier had forgotten there and shining amid the body he should pick it up and drive it into the throat He was himself au. atrocious disasters before, he would be horribly punished because he had seen something ultimately that they should not see, he had always refused to see, and he had always been wrong to refuse to see. "
Again, writing Sagan wonders ... the psychological analysis of the different characters are quite extraordinary, as well as his serious look at that time .. and portend the end of this book that I highly recommend ... .. on spring somewhere, shaken, bruised and admiration of his reading ....
