Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Acide sulfurique

« Vint le moment où la souffrance des autres ne leur suffit plus : il leur en fallut le spectacle. » Concentration : la dernière-née des émissions télévisées. On enlève des gens, on recrute des kapos, on filme… Tout de suite, le plus haut score de téléspectateurs, l’audimat absolu qui se nourrit autant de la cruauté filmée que de l’horreur dénoncée. Etudiante à la beauté stupéfiante, Pannonique est devenue CKZ 114 dans le camp de concentration télévisé. Le premier sévice étant la perte de son nom, partant de son identité. Zdena, chômeuse devenue la kapo Zdena, découvre en Pannonique son double inversé et se met à l’aimer éperdument. Le bien et le mal en couple fatal, la victime et le bourreau, la belle et la bête aussi. Quand les organisateurs du jeu, pour stimuler encore l’audience, décident de faire voter le public pour désigner les prisonniers à abattre, un tollé médiatique s’élève mais personne ne s’abstient de voter et Pannonique joue sa vie…

Criticize Regarding Books Acide sulfurique

Amelie Nothomb is an author who is new to me, despite her prolific writing over the last 20 years. I understand now that I've finished it, that Sulphuric Acid was controversial when it was first released, with the author being asked to publicly explain herself. I find that hilarious, if for no other reason than what I got out of it could not have been more clear.This short novel is based around a new, hit television show called "Concentration," wherein one set of people is herded together and

I need to think about this. And then reread it. And then think some more.

Didn't enjoy the style, it's easy to read but somehow too easy. I can't define why, maybe it's too simplistic sometimes. And though I love the pitch and its provocativity, I think the denouement is too optimistic: the day we will reach a level of ignominy, I am not sure it will be possible to stop the horrors we will have let start.But another point of view could be to see this book as an homage to those who resisted to the Nazi ignominy and who proved it's always possible to stop. With a

Fiction, translated from French (Belgian author). I love Amelie Nothomb. I picked up a load of her stories in France, in English and in French as they are so lovely, and also short which is excellent when you're trying to read in another language. This book is a dystopian tale where reality TV has moved to the darkest level - watching an actual death camp. It has one of the most amazing first pages I have ever read for a book, starting off with: "The time came when the suffering of others was

This is not one of my favorites, but as always, reading her is a pleasure in itself, for her choice and use of language.

Excellent. A disturbing story of citizens forced into a concentration camp for reality tv. Both the camp & the public seeing it as entertainment are horrifying. But Nothomb has a wonderful dry wit & draws strong, memorable characters. Moving tension between guard Zdena & Pannonique, the viewers favourite prisoner. Explores loss of identity, how low we will go for entertainment, apathy & the mob mentality. A great novella. This is third Amelie Nothomb book (after Petronille and

I had meant while I was recently in France to pick up a title or two by Amélie Nothomb about whom I've read quite a bit, but I didn't really have time to roam the bookstores on this last visit. So, since I was entitled (!!) to choose a book for the South Berwick Public Library to add to its collection because I completed the adult reading challenge this summer, I picked Sulphuric Acid by A.N. Here is another time I wish I could choose 9/10 stars instead of 4/5, as that would feel closer to an
