Decameron
The Decameron (subtitle: Prencipe Galeotto) is a collection of 100 novellas by Italian author Giovanni Boccaccio, probably begun in 1350 and finished in 1353. It is a medieval allegorical work best known for its bawdy tales of love, appearing in all its possibilities from the erotic to the tragic. Some believe many parts of the tales are indebted to the influence of The Book of Good Love. Many notable writers such as Chaucer are said to have drawn inspiration from The Decameron
Le Meurtre du Commandeur – livre 1 (1)
Divisé en deux volumes Le meurtre du commandeur promet un voyage initiatique étrange, un conte fantasmagorique et artistique où le lecteur plonge peu à peu dans le fantastique.Au Japon, de nos jours. Une maison en pleine montagne, totalement isolée, livrée à la nature, aux bruits de la pluie et des insectes la nuit. Dans cette maison, des livres et des disques. Beaucoup de disques, d'opéra surtout. Et un narrateur. Il est peintre. Ces dernières années, il a fait beaucoup de portraits, il cherche à retrouver l'inspiration. Cette maison n'est pas la sienne, elle appartient à Tomohiko Amada, un artiste de génie qui a vécu à Vienne avant l'Anschluss et qui, de retour au Japon, s'est mis à peindre des tableaux Nihonga. Il a 92 ans, il est sénile, il vit à l'hôpital. Cette maison, le narrateur y a trouvé refuge après un mois d'errance, quand sa femme lui a annoncé qu'elle voulait divorcer. Dans le grenier de la maison, le narrateur trouve un tableau, soigneusement caché, une peinture d'une grande violence, le meurtre d'un vieillard, une scène comme tirée du Don Giovanni de Mozart mais qui serait située au Japon du 7e siècle. C'est Le Meurtre du Commandeur. Un jour, le vieillard du tableau se manifeste. Il est en taille réduite, mais c'est bien lui, le Commandeur. Que veut-il ? Quel est son message ? Le narrateur retrouvera-t-il la voie de la création ?

Finkler Question
Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer, and television personality, are old school friends. Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never lost touch with each other, or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik.Dining together one night at Sevcik's apartment—the two Jewish widowers and the unmarried Gentile, Treslove—the men share a sweetly painful evening, reminiscing on a time before they had loved and lost, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. But as Treslove makes his way home, he is attacked and mugged outside a violin dealer's window.
