Pourquoi j'ai mangé mon père

By:
Roy Lewis
Type:
Book
Year:
1990
Language:
French (France)
Estimated availability:
Today

Here is a typical Stone Age family, reimagined by Roy Lewis in this hilarious novel as characters in some glittering drawing-room comedy. Father, who has a scientific turn of mind, has just discovered fire. Mother makes sure the children finish supper, even when the plat du jour is toad. Uncle Vanya thinks that the species has been flirting with disaster ever since it began to chip flint into tools. While little Alexander has gotten himself in deep trouble by making the first cave painting: artists are always so misunderstood.

Long out of print, The Evolution Man would make Charles Darwin turn over in his grave. Lewis has written a witty, intelligent satire of the lives of our remote ancestors, complete with highly revisionist accounts of everything from the origins of courtship to the staples of Pleistocene cuisine.

In Paris, France, wealthy and aging socialite Madame Adelaide Bonfamille lives with her cat Duchess, and Duchess' three kittens: Berlioz, Toulouse, and Marie. Also in her employ is a butler, named Edgar.

One day, Madame sends for her friend, George Hautecourt. The task is to finalize and make up Madame's will. Unknown to the two of them, Edgar is listening in. Madame notes that she has no living relatives, and considers her cats to be just as much a part of her family as anything else. As Edgar listens, he's shocked that Madam is planning to give her entire fortune to them, with the estate to be turned over to Edgar once the cats expire.

Of course, Edgar is not at all happy about this, as the cats will easily outlive him! Edgar slips some sleeping pills in the cat's daily serving of cream, and once they have passed out, and night has fallen, he takes them out to the countryside, attempting to abandon them. However, his plans are ruined when a pair of dogs named Lafayette and Napoleon give chase. Edgar abandons the cats in a field before heading back to Paris.

The next day, the cats awaken to find themselves not in their home, but in the countryside, and soon meet a cat named Thomas O'Malley. After some talk, O'Malley offers to help get the family back to Madame Bonfamille.

La chanson de Roland

By:
Patrice Douenat
Rémi Simon
Type:
Book
Year:
1983
Language:
French (France)
Estimated availability:
Today

The epic, an example of the poetic form chanson de geste, is based on the Battle of Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees. After seven years of trying, Charles the Great (Charlemagne) had really not been very successful in his attempt to cross the Pyrenees and expel the Muslims from Spain. His beloved military leader Roland, the hero, is clearly impetuous, brave, arrogant, and stubborn. The fundamental motivation of all the French characters in the poem are chivalric ideals. Reputation, especially after death – ideally death in battle - is all-important.

The poem was apparently first written down in about 1150 CE and was based on oral versions that had existed for some time and were performed by the jongleurs of southern France.

The original two girls, Camille and Madeleine, are so perfect that they almost seem like Mary-Sues. They never do anything wrong and are always good and kind and just. The other two girls, Sophie and Marguerite, are much more realistic, as they often get in trouble or get on each others nerves.  Otherwise, a very sweet story for young girls!

Language:

Le mère de la narratrice, qui fut dans le Berlin de l'immédiat après-guerre une femme engagée, est atteinte de la maladie d'Alzheimer. Elle oublie le passé proche, mais les images de la petite enfance reviennent. En parallèle, sa fille Evelyne décide enfin de vider l'appartement où sa mère n'habitera plus. Le départ de cet immeuble de la porte de Champerret, ce lieu des lisières, provoque en elle une montée de souvenirs.

Que filtrer dans ce sablier magique où passent les grains du temps? Que retenir des propos d'une mère à la mémoire éteinte? Peut-on s'expulser soi-même du passé, comme on est délogé d'un appartement?

Dans la lignée de "La Biographe", Evelyne Bloch-Dano révèle ce que cachent la famille et le foyer, la maternité et la filiation, mais aussi le deuil attendu, des bonheurs enfuis.
