“İçinde yaşadığımız şu dünya ne acayip: Bugün insanlara en az inandırıcı gelen şeyler en saf niyetler.”

Sıradan bir iş gününde genç Max, yükleme alanına park eden lüks bir aracı vincine takıp yediemine doğru yola çıkar. Fakat bu sefer çektiği aracın içinde, film kaplı pencereler ardında kafası karışmış, yaşlı bir hanımın olduğundan habersizdir. Üstüne üstlük dehşetle fark edeceği üzere karşısındaki, kurabiye paketlerindeki yüzüyle herkesin tanıdığı, II. Dünya Savaşı sırasında Paris Direnişi’nin kahramanlarından Madeleine Larmor’dan başkası değildir. Kendine geldiğinde yaşlı kadın, Max’i yıllar önce savaş sırasında Nazilere esir düşen sevgilisi ile karıştıracak, ikili çok geçmeden hayatlarında yepyeni bir sayfa açacak bir maceraya sürüklenecektir.

Yazdığı kırkın üzerinde kitap otuza yakın dile çevrilen Fransa’nın Gouncourt Ödülü sahibi yazarlarından Didier van Cauwelaert, hayatları birbirlerine güvenerek değişen iki yabancıyı merkezine aldığı bu romanında umudu her yaşta diri tutmaya dair yürek ısıtan bir öyküye imza atıyor.

“Birbirinden renkli karakterler ve akıllardan uzun süre çıkmayacak sahneler içeren bu romanıyla Cauwelaert bizi bir kez daha şaşırtıyor.” –Le Parisien

Didier van Cauwelaert est un romancier et dramaturge français, né d'une famille d'origine belge.

Didier van Cauwelaert is a French novelist and playwright with Belgian roots.

Well-known French writer Didier van CAUWELAERT has some very big literary successes in his portfolio.

From the age of 8 he dreamed of taking up a pen to become independent and feed his family.

After devoting several years to theatre, to playing Sartre and directing Beckett, Anouilh, Ionesco, and after a brief career as a children's book critic, a chance meeting with a certain Greta GARBO got his foot in the door.

In 1982 he published (at last) his first book “Vingt ans et des poussières” with Editions du Seuil, just after his 22nd birthday. He would reach an ever wider public with every new book.

Awarded the Prix Goncourt in 1994 for “Un aller simple” (One way) this voracious writer let his imagination run rife and arrived at the pinnacle of his career.

An extraordinary author, Didier van CAUWELAERT has sold over 5 million copies and been translated into 30 different languages.

Films have been made of several of his books: “Un aller simple”, “Hors de moi” adapted for film as “Sans identité” and “J’ai perdu Albert” taken from his novel of the same name.

His latest work “La bienveillance est une arme absolue” (goodwill is the ultimate weapon) takes the mind to new horizons.

The ultimate weapon, a weapon to shock, to create joy, goodwill is the only answer to the moral crisis in which society finds itself.

eğer geveze monoloğu katlanabildiğiniz bir anlatım tarzıysa okunur bir hikaye, ilk on sayfayı atlatıp alışana kadar zorluk çektim...

J’ai adoré ! C’est drôle, c’est frais ! Le style est super et Max notre héros a une répartie comme je les aime ! C’est mon premier Didier van Cauwelaert et je ne suis pas déçue.

Avec La Personne de Confiance, Didier van Cauwelaert signe une comédie pétillante menée tambour battant. Bonne humeur et fous rires garantis !

Me divertí leyéndolo. Chévere, entretenido. No es una obra maestra pero la narración tipo Enquête Policière me encantó.

L’histoire est prenante. La narration est très originale mais finalement assez difficile à suivre sur la durée, trop haché.

J'ai beaucoup aimé. Le ton du personnage principal, la narration.
Très plaisant à lire même si a un moment j'aurais aimé un peu de changement dans la narration (pour plus de rytme et voir ce que ca faisait...)
Ce livre est différent et je ne connaissais pas l'auteu
Facilement adaptable au théatre a mon avis.

Another great Cauwelaert! Clash of different classes who are forced to bond and work together. Beautifully written, a clever story, engaging characters, and several twists until the end.
