Rate this book
Sexta-feira, princípio de uma noite de Inverno. Laura sente-se feliz pois está prestes a deixar o seu apartamento e a sua vida solitária para ir viver com o namorado. Não estava à espera, no entanto, de uma descomunal greve dos transportes e vê-se de repente presa num enorme engarrafamento.
Como vive momentaneamente entre dois domicílios, entre duas “vidas, Laura atravessa um momento de liberdade total, em que de certa maneira tudo lhe é permitido. E assim como se abandona ao lento fluxo do trânsito, do mesmo modo aceita, impensadamente, dar boleia a um homem estranho que lhe surge no caminho. Só que depois dessa noite já nunca mais será a mesma...

Ertesi gün sevgilisinin evine taşınmak üzere olan genç kadın Laure'un cuma akşamında arabasına aldığı Frederic'e birkaç dakikada hayatını değiştirmeyi düşünecek kadar kapılışının öyküsü. Kısa cümleler, anlaşılır dil, sürükleyici hikaye. Calvino'nun Bir Piyade Erinin Serüveni'ndeki gibi az anlatımla ağır erotizm duygusu hissettiriyor...

Une histoire vraiment ennuyeuse.
Une femme va chez des amis, rencontre un inconnu sur la route, l'emmène, parle avec lui, l'aime, trompe son mari avec cet homme, et elle revient chez elle après cette soirée.
Voilà, une histoire assez banale. De plus, l'écriture était, à mon avis, très mauvaise.

L'autrice restitue fidèlement tout l'aspect pénible des rapports sexuels, ce qui est malheureusement, me semble-t-il, l'inverse de l'effet escompté.

Comme ça m’ennuie cette réduction de la sensualité à une vulgaire rencontre d’un étranger dans la rue 😪

Bien écrit la plupart du temps, mais aussi assez plat. Ce qui en fait un livre assez attachant même si l'action n'est pas le personnage principal.
Belle illustration du mode de pensée des femmes cependant ! Je m'y suis vue.

Très bon petit roman qui se lit tout seul. Je l’avais déjà lu il y a quelques années, mais je ne me souvenais pas de la fin. Bravo !

I have recently found this book from library and get it then as soon as I have seen. I really liked this book. I understood that a woman can leave behind all of the possible problems in her life. She became happier that night than as usual thanks to Frederic. The writer focused on striking in Paris and resembled a mood of a woman can be shaken like paris in that time. By the way the notable point is in the book was full of erotism and love between Frederic and Laure.

Senza infamia e senza lode. Un libricino semplice che si fa leggere e affronta il tema dell' incertezza di fronte ad un grosso cambiamento. Laure rappresenta la donna che al ridosso del grande passo si sente in procinto di essere privata di tutto ciò che era. Frédéric è il suo ultimo canto del cigno. Uno alice of Life che dura una notte, carino, sensuale.

Very short read. Liked the writing style, the story itself was whatever. The resume on the back of the book kinda spoiled the entire book, which is a bit disappointing.

Παρασκευή βράδυ - θα ήθελα να βγω για ποτό κλπ, αλλά αφού το lockdown (ορθά) δεν επιτρέπει να ξεμυτίσουμε μετά τις 9, σκέφτηκα να πεταχτώ μέχρι το Παρίσι 🤪 Μια χαρά ήταν! Το βιβλίο είναι νουβέλα, άρα πολύ συνοπτικό, κ ξεπετάγεται άνετα σε μια βραδιά στο... Παρίσι :)

Μου άρεσαν πολύ οι διακυμάνσεις στην ιστορία, ότι πολλά πράγματα αλλάζουν αναπάντεχα κ αυτό κρατά τον αναγνώστη σε εγρήγορση.

Ωραία εξιστόρηση κ το βιβλίο περιγράφει πολύ καλά το συχνό ανθρώπινο δίλλημα ανάμεσα στους φόβους μας κ την επιθυμία για επαναπροσδιορισμό.

Médiocre. Principalement parce qu'il n'y a pas d'histoire, mais une idée tirée en longueur. Une idée banale d'ailleurs : une femme sur le point de vivre avec son amoureux, en voiture. Prend un auto stoppeur. Attirance immédiate. Ils passent une nuit de folie. Se séparent au matin. Comme un fantasme pour femme mariée.
