Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. “A dead man is not jealous…..I would not commit the cruel folly of coming to life again.” Zola’s horrific short story depicts a man, Olivier Becaille, in a temporary coma and paralytic state. This condition leads his wife to believe he is dead. It even fools the doctor. Funeral and burial arrangements are made and carried out. Readers’ will experience their worst fear through the eyes of Olivier. A memorable read! Quatre nouvelles qui ne dépareillent pas dans l’œuvre de Zola, sauf peut-être la première (qui donne son nom à ce livre), au ton fantastique qui ne ressemble pas au chef de file du naturalisme. C’est toujours le même style, les mêmes préoccupations, mais avec une fin en générale heureuse, ou tout au moins ironique, ce à quoi Zola ne nous a pas habitué. Il est intéressant de voir que Zola maitrise aussi la forme ramassée de la nouvelle, un art de la concision que je ne lui aurais pas prêté de premier abord. Une bonne façon de lire une petite dose de classique, et de me rappeler que, décidément, il est temps que je me replonge dans ma lecture des Rougon-Macquart ! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

What would you do if you were buried alive?
No, really, what would you do?
This story takes this horrific scenario, and deals with it remarkably calmly and realistically. A man becomes conscious of his wife wailing over his seemingly-dead body. He can hear and see, and is aware of everything in the room around him. However, he's unable to move a muscle to respond to her. He wonders: is he actually dead? Might it be that consciousness does not depart the dead body? ( )
