Titres dans Petites villes et ruralité

À quoi peuvent songer trois soldats dans le petit matin glacial du 11 novembre 1918, à l'aube d'un armistice dont ils ne savent rien encore ? Un fils de notaire du Périgord, un instituteur du pays cathare et un ouvrier parisien qui n'auraient jamais dû se rencontrer, trois hommes jetés dans l'enfer et qui se raccrochent désespérément au souvenir de leur vie d'avant pour ne pas sombrer. Les yeux fermés, ils se souviennent de ces heures de paix lumineuses qui donnaient un sens à l'amour et à l'insouciance.

Er erinnert sich an die Frauen seines Lebens, begegnet einem alten Studienfreund, der als Landwirt im globalisierten Frankreich um seine Existenz kämpft, und er rechnet ab: mit der modernen Gesellschaft, der Wirtschaft, der Politik - und mit sich selbst. Nie hat Houellebecq so ernsthaft und voller Emotion über die Liebe geschrieben.

Un "roman paysan" qui échappe aux lieux communs et à l'imagerie d'Epinal des célébrations du "terroir". Joseph est ouvrier agricole, dans une ferme du Cantal. Mais ce nouveau roman de Marie-Hélène Lafon n'est en rien un "roman paysan" nostalgique, nourri de "couleur locale" : la ferme où il vit n'ignore ni les ordinateurs ni les congélateurs. Et le dimanche, au bistrot du village, quand il a un peu trop bu, les phrases de Joseph miment celles des animateurs populaires de la télévision.
