Commentary Toward Books Charlotte

Ce roman retrace la vie de Charlotte Salomon, artiste peintre morte à vingt-six ans alors qu'elle était enceinte. Après une enfance à Berlin marquée par une tragédie familiale, Charlotte est exclue progressivement par les nazis de toutes les sphères de la société allemande. Elle vit une passion amoureuse fondatrice, avant de devoir tout quitter pour se réfugier en France. Exilée, elle entreprend la composition d'une œuvre picturale autobiographique d'une modernité fascinante. Se sachant en danger, elle confie ses dessins à son médecin en lui disant : «C'est toute ma vie.» Portrait saisissant d'une femme exceptionnelle, évocation d'un destin tragique, Charlotte est aussi le récit d'une quête. Celle d'un écrivain hanté par une artiste, et qui part à sa recherche.

Judge Based On Books Charlotte

I had never heard of Charlotte Salomon until a couple of years ago, when an adorable boy I used to teach in China made a speech about her life and art. I immediately looked her up, amazed that she wasn't more well known... and then promptly forgot about her again. Until I discovered this great book!Written in lyrical prose, Foenkinos tells an only slightly embellished version of Charlotte's life. This is interspersed with short bursts on his research for the book. I say interspersed - these are

What can I say about this book? At first I thought it didnt download correctly and parts are missing. No was everything there. I didnt know about Charlotte Salomon, but I am going to buy her book now. The style of writing adds an extra to this highly emotion-loaded book. In the end i was starring at my kindle with tears in my eyes. This book is another example that simplicity and clarity of writing produce more emotion that long complicated filled with adjectives novels (😛)Asta e toata viata mea

I was deeply moved by this beautiful and haunting tribute to the life and incandescent talent of young Charlotte Salomon. She was raised in a cultured household in Berlin, survived strange repeated family tragedy, and had the prescience in her mid 20s to preserve her life's story in a unique way (that likely saved her sanity) before perishing naked and five-months-pregnant in a gas chamber in Auschwitz.Foenkinos' choice to use short sentences each on one line, not unlike music lyrics, gives a

Beautifully told life story of the artist Charlotte Saloman. From the beginning, her life was tragically sad. Her family's history of suicide and her feelings of sadness and abandonment made you long for her to find happiness.She was survived by her father and mother-in-law who went into hiding during WWII. Whereas herself, her unborn child, and husband died in Aushwitz. She gave her art to friends and has had it displayed to tell her story. I never heard of this artist, but am glad to have

Charlotte isn't easy to write about. What exactly is it? The story is based on fact: the life of German Jewish artist Charlotte Salomon, who was executed at Auschwitz aged 26. But it's clear that many of the scenes here are embellished, at least mildly fictionalised. At various points throughout the book, without breaking the flow of the narrative, Foenkinos talks about the process of writing Charlotte, his own fascination with Salomon, and the places he visited to get a sense of her life. This

Modiano for poor people

What an oddly brilliant novel-biography-memoir in quasi-verse. I'll now have to look up Life? or Theatre?
