Moderato Cantabile

Date: 19 May 2025, 6:15pm - 7:30pm GMT+1 UK

Marguerite Duras (roman, 1958, 164 pages)


Mon. 19 May 2025 - from 6:15PM to 7:30PM - French Book Club (Central Library)


" Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire, moderato cantabile ?
- Je ne sais pas. "
Une leçon de piano, un enfant obstiné, une mère aimante, pas de plus simple expression de la vie tranquille d'une ville de province.
Mais un cri soudain vient déchirer la trame, révélant sous la retenue de ce récit d'apparence classique une tension qui va croissant dans le silence jusqu'au paroxysme final.
" Quand même, dit Anne Desbarèdes, tu pourrais t'en souvenir une fois pour toutes. Moderato, ça veut dire modéré, et cantabile, ça veut dire chantant, c'est facile. " (Babelio)
