Amélie Nothomb
About this listen
"Pour éprouver la soif, il faut être vivant." Amélie Nothomb
"On n'apprend des vérités si fortes qu'en ayant soif, qu'en éprouvant l'amour et en mourant : trois activités qui nécessitent un corps." Avec sa plume inimitable, Amélie Nothomb donne voix et corps à Jésus Christ, quelques heures avant la crucifixion. Elle nous fait rencontrer un Christ ô combien humain et incarné, qui monte avec résignation au sommet du Golgotha. Aucun défi littéraire n'arrête l'imagination puissante et fulgurante d'Amélie Nothomb, qui livre ici un de ses textes les plus intimes.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Vraiment un livre qui m'a donné envie de replonger dans l'évangile malgré mon agnostisme non dissimulé

Très agréable à écouter
Comme à chaque nouvel ouvrage, les phrases d’Amélie sont fluides avec son rythme si particulier. J’ajoute que c’est une très belle prestation de Gregori Baquet. C’est court mais en même temps elle raconte une histoire universelle.
Amélie décrit sa foi mais ne raconte pas les dogmes. Un livre dogmatique aurait été très inhabituelle de sa part et c’est pour cette raison qu’il se lit et s’écoute sans le coté pesant du religieux.
Un petit trigger warning pour les chrétiens les plus susceptibles, la lecture du récit biblique est apocryphe, notamment avec la description de la relation du Christ avec Marie-Madeleine. Moi personellement, j’aime beaucoup !
Il a le chic d’inviter à la reflexion spirituelle, à l’impact romanesque et culturelle de la mise à mort de Jesus. La description de la souffrance du chemin de croix et de la cruxifiction se mélange au questionnement sur l’esprit et l’âme face à la matière. De magnifiques tirades sur le corps en souffrance, le corps en exaltation.
Bref, très bonne experience !

Un clin d'oeil à Michel Onfray
Ce livre est un délice. On y retrouve la grande créativité et le caractère osé des considérations métaphysiques à laquelle Amélie Nothomb nous a habitués.
Cependant, on semble y déceler l’empreinte de Michel Onfray. En effet, la démarche de l’auteure offre de nombreux points communs avec celle abordée par le philosophe français dans le cadre de son cycle de conférences portant sur la «Contre-histoire de la philosophie». Michel Onfray révèle de manière originale la vie des philosophes hédonistes et épicuriens exclus du Panthéon de la philosophie conventionnelle (c’est-à-dire platonienne et hégélienne). Pour cela, il les analyse à partir de la façon dont ils mirent en pratique dans la quotidienneté les valeurs philosophiques qu’ils prêchaient. Dans les séances du cours d’Onfray réservées à la «Résistance au Christianisme» apparaît un Jésus qui aurait été végétarien et ne condamnait pas le corps. Il lui aurait été difficile de le faire, d’ailleurs, puisqu’il était le produit de l’incarnation.
Même chose chez Amélie Nothomb dans la mesure où elle attribue au Christ des sentiments, émotions, sensations physiques propres au commun des mortels, alors que le Christ, en tant que symbole représentatif d’un idéal supérieur, a toujours été présenté comme une entité exempte de toute considération d’ordre physique et matérielle.
On retrouve également dans «Soif» la notion, chère à Amélie Nothomb, du corps qui est éprouvé à travers les épreuves les plus dures, à savoir, la souffrance et l’amour, les deux allant de pair. Le corps est donc omniprésent dans le texte, la soif étant l’état absolu et casi métaphysique qui fait ressentir le mieux l’essence matérielle de l’homme.
Amélie Nothomb remet en cause à travers le supplice du Christ certains aspects de la création. Dieu est Amour (dans l’abstraction), tandis que Jésus, lui, aime (dans la pratique). Or, après la crucifixion, comment parler d’Amour?
C’est un livre où se mêlent l’humour, l’audace et le sérieux et qui nous invite à réfléchir et à transgresser les principes orthodoxes religieux. Il est temps, effectivement, de sortir Jésus Christ du symbolisme où il a été enfermé et de le replacer dans le monde et la réalité concrète qui lui donnèrent naissance.
