The boys of Via PalPerhaps a little similar to the adventures narrated by Mark Twain, it differs however in the theme addressed. Here the adults have little play, it is the children who lead the story. Their gangs, their rivalry, the games and challenges that will fill their days, at school and on the streets, on the Via Pal which will remain unforgettable. This novel is remembered with pleasure, because the adventures - and misadventures - of those children represent a vanished period, a world left behind in time, when little, very little was enough to have fun and become adults.
The great Meaulnes by Alain Fournier The great MeaulnesGreat and unfortunate writer Alain Fournier, who left his life at the beginning of the First World War, after having published his only novel, The Special Data Great Meaulnes . Story of friendship, adventures, lost loves. A story that recalls a school diary, because it is with school that everything begins. It is a novel that I remember veiled in melancholy, as if the protagonist was chasing an unknown dream. Here too there is a search, but perhaps one that has no name, that arises within us and that we feel we are following despite the evil that comes from it.
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' puppy The Puppy by Marjorie Kinnan RawlingsWho is the puppy, the little deer that Jodie manages to keep at home, or Jodie himself, a child forced to become an adult too soon? Maybe the puppy is one and the other, maybe this is the story of how a puppy grows up and how he has to live his life. It is a dense novel, which contains within itself many elements to focus on. It is a bucolic novel, but also one of suffering. It is a novel that introduces us to poverty, but also to the simplicity of a life now lost. I remember the magic of it, especially in the pages where Icarus makes his appearance. Just as I remember the pain and poetry of his conclusion.
