Badenheim 1939 by Aharon Appelfeld, Dalya Bilu

cynthiak's review against another edition

3.0

Badenheim 1939 est une allégorie de la persécution des Juifs dans lequels des éléments sont aisément reconnaissables (le service sanitaire, les gardes, la fermeture de la ville, l'arrivée des "étrangers" dans la ville balnéaire fictive de Badenheim...), d'autres beaucoup moins (le symbole de l'aquarium, les trois chiens, la folie apparente de Trude...)

Il faudrait compléter sa lecture par une analyse de l'oeuvre pour l'apprécier à sa juste valeur.

3,5/5
