Théâtre/Roman

Rate this book
"Qu'on entende bien que, lorsque je dis le théâtre, le théâtre est le nom que je donne au lieu intérieur en moi où je situe mes songes et mes mensonges."

Tout le roman est un jeu de masques, de miroirs, qui s'accomplit secrètement dans ce théâtre de mots et donne, selon l'expression d'Aragon, une leçon de ténèbres.

Ainsi Aragon ouvre ce théâtre intérieur que l'homme est à lui-même et dans lequel il remet ses rêves en scènes. Longtemps après le livre refermé la lecture en soi se poursuit. La quête de cette œuvre si libre et si grave fait lever les images et les mondes les plus enfouis, donnant de l'existence une représentation crépusculaire à laquelle on ne peut s'arracher.

Théâtre/Roman est un livre essentiel qui veut éclairer de l'intérieur la totalité de l'œuvre d'Aragon.

About the author

Louis Aragon

266 books330 followers
French writer Louis Aragon founded literary surrealism.

Louis Aragon, a major figure in the avant-garde movements, shaped visual culture in the 20th century. His long career as a poet, novelist, Communist polemicist and bona fide war hero secured his place in the pantheon of greats.

With André Breton and Phillipe Soupault, Aragon launched the movement and through Paysan de Paris (Paris Peasant), his novel of 1926, produced the considered defining text of the movement.

Aragon parted company with the movement in the early 1930s, devoted his energies to the Communist party, and went to produce a vast body that combined elements of the social avant-garde.

Aragon, a leading influence on the shaping of the novel in the early to mid-20th century, gave voice and images to the art. He, also a critic, edited as a member of the Académie Goncourt. After 1959, people frequent nominated him for the Nobel Prize.

Très très très très très dense, je crains l'essoufflement au bout de ce périple...
