V13: Chronicle of a Trial | Emmanuel Carrere
post image

I knew, we knew, that what we were experiencing was anything but the grand historical event, the vain, colossal judicial spectacle that we all had good reason to fear at the beginning. No: this was something else: a unique experience of horror, pity, proximity and presence. It was only very late in the day that I realised that the white box resembles a modern church, and that something sacred had been taking place there.

A book that‘s been on my shelf for over 5 years is now #OffMyShelf 🎉

While I thought the pacing was inconsistent between the various time periods, I did enjoy this story. And now I want to go to Provence. 🇫🇷

Ruthiella Nice! 👍 1d
Bookzombie You are really knocking these out! It‘s awesome! 22h
marleed It‘s such bonus when a book languishing on my own shelves is a pick. I save my 5*: A+ and 4.75*: solid A reads. So if the book is really good, it‘s a dang, but I didn‘t clear my shelf situation! 22h
wanderinglynn @marleed I‘m okay keeping the book – as long as I‘ve read it. 😉 I‘m trying to get books off my TBR shelf. Or rather my TBR bookcase, which has gotten out of control. 21h

I finished this audio history book a few days ago. Dan Jones writes the most lively books! This one completes his Medieval English history trilogy and connects The Plantagenets and The Wars of the Roses. I wish Dan Jones narrated more books because he‘s so engaging to listen to! Highly recommend!!

RamsFan1963 Yes I enjoyed Jones narration of Henry V more than I've liked John Curless's narration on The War of The Roses. 24h
bibliothecarivs I recently found a like-new hardback copy of Henry V for only $5 at a local charity shop! I really enjoyed Jones' Summer of Blood (paperback) and Plantagenets (audiobook), although the narration of the latter by Clive Chafer was boring. 13h

5⭐️ I expected Germinal to be crazy, but I didn‘t expect it to be THIS crazy. Zola went all out. His graphic descriptions could be horrific at times, and he pulled his readers to experience it along with the characters. Coal mining is a messy business, and working as a coal miner is basically living in hell. Pour in the disparity and conflicts between the bourgeoisie and the workers, and you‘d get an unforgettable read.

Suet624 It all sounds brutal. 2d
sisilia @Suet624 It does but it‘s oh so good 😄 2d
Tamra I don‘t know much about coal mining, except my great grandfather (a miner) wouldn‘t allow his sons to do the same. 😐 2d

Ruthiella I read this in college decades ago and it has stuck with me. 2d
LeeRHarry I have this on my shelves. Could I check - is it a standalone? I wasn‘t sure. My grandpa was a coal miner and similar to @Tamra made sure my Dad had a good education so he wouldn‘t need to do the same. 2d
sisilia @LeeRHarry It‘s part of his 20-book series but can be read as a standalone. I highly recommend it 🔥 2d
sisilia @Tamra I googled so much about the underground structure of a coal mine to understand Zola better, and it‘s really inferno down there 😩😭 2d
sisilia @Ruthiella I cannot move on 😜 haha.. I need a few days to decompress, I guess. 2d
LeeRHarry @sisilia thanks 😊 2d
