19 novembre 1957. "Cher Monsieur Germain, J'ai laissé s'éteindre un peu le bruit qui m'a entouré tous ces jours-ci avant de venir vous parler un peu de tout mon coeur. On vient de me faire un bien trop grand honneur, que je n'ai ni recherche ni sollicite. Mais quand j'ai appris la nouvelle, ma premiere pensee, apres ma mere, a ete pour vous. Sans vous, sans cette main affectueuse que vous avez tendue au petit enfant pauvre que j'etais, sans votre enseignement, et votre exemple, rien de tout cela ne serait arrive. (...) Je vous embrasse, de toutes mes forces. Albert Camus". Alors qu'il vient de recevoir le prix Nobel de litterature, Albert Camus ecrit a son ancien instituteur a Alger, celui sans qui "rien de tout cela ne serait arrive", toute sa reconnaissance. L'ensemble de la correspondance entre les deux hommes et un extrait du Premier homme ou apparait le personnage de l'instituteur M. Bernard sont ici reunis. Une edition en forme d'hommage a ce lien magnifique de gratitude et de tendresse.

Dos presents, l avui i l ahir, convergeixen en aquest llibre de maduresa de Teresa Pascual, on els matisos de la llum, i la importancia de les finestres, s imposen a la dualitat foscor-claror i el dins i el fora es comuniquen com a parts d un mateix espai on el concepte de llindar, de lloc de pas, ajuda a relativitzar la importancia de les coses. Aqui, la materia pesa pero tot es relatiu, i es relaciona amb l oblit i el silenci dels altres. Instants i traç que va deixant la vida configuren aquest llibre d una poeta que a traves d una aparença de paraula menuda es confirma com a una de les nostres veus mes essencials. Teresa Pascual (El Grau de Gandia, 1952) es va donar a coneixer amb el poemari Flexo (1988) i fins ara ha publicat els reculls: Les hores (1988), Arena (1992), Curriculum Vitae (1996), El temps en ordre (2002), Rebel lio de la sal (2008), Herencies (2011, amb Angels Gregori), Valencia Nord (2014) i Vertical (2019).

Inspiré de la courte vie d'Hamnet, le fils oublié de William Shakespeare, ce roman est une bouleversante méditation sur la famille, l'amour et le deuil. Un jour d'été 1596, dans la campagne anglaise, une petite fille tombe gravement malade. Son frere jumeau, Hamnet, part chercher de l'aide car aucun de leurs parents n'est a la maison... Agnes, leur mere, n'est pourtant pas loin, en train de cueillir des herbes medicinales dans les champs alentour ; leur pere est a Londres pour son travail. Tous deux sont inconscients de cette maladie, de cette ombre qui plane sur leur famille et menace de tout engloutir. Porte par une ecriture d'une beaute inouie, ce nouveau roman de Maggie O'Farrell est la bouleversante histoire d'un frere et d'une soeur unis par un lien indefectible, celle d'un couple atypique marque par un deuil impossible. C'est aussi celle d'une maladie " pestilentielle " qui se diffuse sur tout le continent. Mais c'est avant tout une magnifique histoire d'amour et le tendre portrait d'un petit garçon oublie par l'Histoire, qui inspira pourtant a son pere, William Shakespeare, sa piece la plus celebre. PRESSE : " [Maggie O'Farrell] ecrit en palpant la douleur, en l'agrippant des deux mains. Son livre sent fort la puanteur et les larmes des endeuilles pour offrir une lecture d'une puissante densite. " Telerama " Maggie O'Farrell excelle dans cette veine romanesque terriblement incarnee. " Le Figaro " L'art subtil de Maggie O'Farrell consiste a recreer la vie ordinaire tout en y infusant le poids du temps, la pesee du destin. Elle ne cherche pas a mimer la langue ou a reproduire l'atmosphere du XVIe siecle, elle les incarne pour toujours " Le Monde des livres.
