J’ai lu la version qui contient certaines gouaches de Charlotte Salomon, ce qui a rendu la lecture encore plus incroyable !
David Foenkinos retrace son histoire et interprète ses peintures avec beaucoup de justesse et il arrive à nous rendre, à notre tour, fasciné.e.s par Charlotte Salomon, son travail et sa vie
« Le sentiment d’avoir enfin trouvé ce que je cherchais.
Le dénouement inattendu de mes attirances.
Mes errances m’avaient conduit au bon endroit.
Je le sus dès l’instant où je découvris Vie? ou Théâtre?
Tout ce ce que j’aimais.
Tout ce qui me troublait depuis des années.
(…)
Tout était là.
Dans un éclat de couleurs vives. »

icarusandthesun's review against another edition
Charlotte is a beautiful book.
It is intense, melancholic, sad, a gem reflecting death, and pain, and the unfiltered experience of life as a Jew during World War 2.
This book features everything disastrous, but also beauty, creativity, inspiration. Freedom during a time where there was none.
"... - the beauty and the terror were two sides of a single coin."
(That's a quote from Pat Barker's 'The Silence Of the Girls', but I thought it fitting. It perfectly sums up this book and all its uniqueness.)

Ce livre est une biographie d'une artiste juive morte dans un camp de concentration pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, et issue d'une famille dans laquelle beaucoup de suicides ont eu lieu. Les thèmes abordés sont donc en conséquence très lourds, mais ils sont traités avec beaucoup de délicatesse.
