2021 || Paperback || Frances Raval || Monbeaulivre.fr || met inkijkexemplaar

In this incandescent novel Frances Raval gives superbly vivid, powerful and at times wickedly funny portrayals of the foundations of Freudian psychoanalysis as it emerged in the 1890s and thus by implication of the inner life of the whole epoch.

Sevdah

Élégie pour un Sud rêvé

2021 || Paperback || Malina Stefanovska || Monbeaulivre.fr || met inkijkexemplaar

Les peuples balkaniques cultivent parfois dans leur folklore une tristesse voulue, intense, qui paradoxalement, leur apporte le plus grand bonheur. C’est le “sevdah” - équivalent de la « saudade » portugaise : la nostalgie du pays qu’on a quitté, de la jeunesse envolée, de rêves à demi oubliés, de tout ce qu’on a aimé et qui, peut-être, n’a jamais été. Ce regret est vécu comme le point fort de leur identité, le bonheur le plus triste qui soit.

The Street of the Three Beds

A Novel

2021 || Paperback || Roser Caminals || Monbeaulivre.fr || met inkijkexemplaar

When Roser Caminals was ten years old her family moved to a neighborhood of grid-patterned streets lined with trees and broad sidewalks; but it is the old city, with its potpourri of blind lottery peddlers, sailors from all over the world walking up from the harbor, fishmongers, tourists, door-to-door salesmen, and a variety shady characters thrown into the mix that finds its way into her fiction. The rich texture of the street life Roser Caminals witnessed during her formative years remains ...
