Mes amis est le premier roman d'Emmanuel Bove, paru en 1924, alors que le souvenir de la première Guerre mondiale est encore vivace. Son narrateur est un ancien soldat, esseulé dans Paris ; il rêve de sociabilité mais joue de malchance et de maladresse, et toutes ses tentatives de rencontre échouent les unes après les autres. Son style faussement naïf, simple et mélancolique, habille un humour noir et donne à la voix de son personnage un caractère poignant.

Rizal travelled to Europe as a student and wrote these books there under difficult circumstances. His friends helped ship them back to Manila where the books were swiftly banned by the Spanish authorities.

Questo romanzo fu pubblicato nel 1927, e, conseguentemente alle idee dell’epoca, fu giudicato quasi scandaloso, mentre oggi può essere considerato “letteratura rosa”. Fu anche l’ultimo romanzo della Vivanti, che dopo di allora si dedicò al giornalismo. La vicenda narrata è uno spunto per una dura protesta contro il colonialismo degli Inglesi in Egitto, in cui è ambientata la vicenda.
