"You can't understand, Swann, not yet. A day will come when one of them will hurt you, I mean a lot of hurt." This novel, which resurrects a legend from the Belle Époque, is a subtle homage to a major work of French literature. His writing, both faithful and modern, sheds new light on its unforgettable figures. The author, who has published several novels and short stories with Stock, Belfond, and Livre de Poche, had already published a very powerful novel dedicated to Dostoyevsky with Éditions Douro in 2021, under the title "Dostoyevsky, an eternal sentence."

Corentin Mieck was sixteen years old when his mother died in the 1960s. Deeply wounded by this loss that would mark him for life, he entered adulthood like a ghost. But his destiny was already winning... Over time, historical events followed one another (1968, the Vietnam War, the election of François Mitterrand, the Rwandan genocide, the election of Barack Obama) and he met strong, often lost characters, struggling with existence and their own demons... All are orphans in their own way, and isn't that the lot of humanity? Steeped in nostalgia and written in a calm and elegant style, this text is a tribute to life, which is "well worth a few burns," as Dostoyevsky wrote in "The Eternal Husband."

But a previously unpublished and disturbing manuscript received by the narrator casts doubt and fear: what if Dostoyevsky had really been executed in 1849? Publication date: September 1, 2021 Order
