The boy in the striped pyjamas
In this Holocaust novel, Bruno leaves his wonderful Berlin home with his parents because of "the fury." Boyne's depiction of time and place becomes real with Michael Maloney's characterization of this displaced 9-year-old, who rapidly goes from excited confusion to indignant anger. Maloney's narrative bits are a calm counterpoint to the bewilderment of the protagonist, who finds himself at "Off With," where he is surrounded by people dressed in striped pajamas. Maloney continues to dramatize Bruno's moods as he makes friends with a young prisoner and observes the cruelty of a controlling soldier. Making Bruno real is crucial to our acceptance of his innocent horror, essential to filling in all the author doesn't say, and necessary to establishing the emotional balance we need to hear this disturbing story.

Le garçon en pyjama rayé. Une fable de John Boyne
Boyne John ; Gibert CatherineVous ne trouverez pas ici le résumé de ce livre car il est important de le découvrir sans savoir de quoi il parle. On dira simplement qu'il s'agit de l'histoire du jeune Bruno que sa curiosité va mener à une rencontre de l'autre côté d'une étrange barrière. Une de ces barrières qui séparent les hommes et qui ne devraient pas exister.John Boye est né à Dublin en Irlande, en 1971. Après des études de littérature, il suit le cours d'écriture de l'université d'East Anglia, où il enseignera plus tard. Vers l'âge de vingt ans, il commence à écrire des nouvelles, dont certaines paraissent dans la presse, notamment dans le Sunday Tribune. Le garçon en pyjama rayé est son quatrième roman et son premier ouvrage destiné à la jeunesse. Cependant, cette fiction poignante a su interpeller les lecteurs de tous âges. Traduit en dix-sept langues et couronné de nombreux prix, comme le irish Book Award Listener's Choice Book of the Year, le livre fait actuellement l'objet d'une adaptation au cinémaEN STOCKCOMMANDER7,90 € -

Les éléments
Boyne John ; Aslanides SophieUn véritable coup de cœur ! L’intrigue est admirablement construite. L’auteur distille savamment les informations à travers ses 4 narrateurs en jouant avec les nerfs du lecteur. Il le laisse découvrir les personnages, s’y attacher, pour mieux le surprendre en révélant certains pans dérangeants de leur passé. Il questionne les limites de sentiments tels que l’empathie, l’amour, le pardon ; au grand dam du lecteur qui ne sait plus quoi penser et ne se reconnait plus.EN STOCKCOMMANDER24,00 € -
