"One day we believed in beautiful things, to myths and legends ... One day we came to believe that the truth was the truth if it was beautiful. One day at a time lost, all the men were poets and invented tales that became real when they were told! And now? What all this he led? The darkness around us and we live on condoms and bottles of alcohol ... "
This novel is a series of tales both sweet and bitter told around a table in the presence of an innocent young girl. This gives an atmosphere that is both heavy and shifted to the limit of the absurd. The stories are well conducted. Their message is often unclear and gives rise to multiple interpretations. I myself have a preference for one that depicts Grigori. A deep and gripping story.
In this book combines horror and poetry, is curiosity prevails. We wonder where we are going, we imagine with fear the outcome, but we are anxious to get there. This is reminiscent of the tirade of the maze ...
"Imagine you are a labyrinth path that you create yourself walking. If you do not advance, you will never find out because it does not exist. If you draw back, all you have created will become an obstacle. And if you finally find out, what you will get satisfaction knowing that you were the only way? "
Finally, Tétraméron is a separate book. It appeals to everyone. We are bewitched by his dreamlike and poetic atmosphere or we remain on the platform. For my part, I was hooked.
