Bright Side of Life | Emile Zola

4⭐️ The main character here is Pauline Quenu, the daughter of Lisa Macquart. She‘s quite impossible; too kind, too much self-sacrifice - that she irritates me from start to end. The other main character, her cousin, is another impossible creature. Lacking of courage and perseverance, this man is also so scared of death. Together, they made me roll my eyes, & write too many things on the margin with all the frustration!👇🏻

sisilia And yet, I still think that the writing is pretty amazing. Zola delivers again with this one. 2y

live? how? sacrificing as Pauline? surviving as Lazarus? or tending to do it without a like, without a way, simply as a Chanteau?

and it is precisely on this that E.Zola urges us to reflect.

☆☆☆☆\☆☆☆☆ recommended novel.

Vivere ? In che modo?
Sacrificandosi come Paolina? Sopravvivendo come Lazzaro? O tentando di farlo senza un come, senza cercare un modo, semplicemente come Chanteau? Ed è proprio su questo che E.Zola ci spinge a riflettere.

☆☆☆☆\☆☆☆☆
Romanzo consigliato.
