For a long time a novel had not transported me. I shuddered to blows bombs, I cried with death, I laughed with that Saumonech. This book is a literary gem. Its big plus is of course the narrator, death, complaining between two stories of all his labor during the Second World War. The story is sublime, tragic, moving and historic. It is a small masterpiece and as the heroine who loves reading his novels, it may be that one, I the course again within a short time. And big news: I learned words in German, something that I would never have imagined.
