The Kingdom
A sweeping fictional account of the early Christians, whose unlikely beliefs conquered the world Gripped by the tale of a Messiah whose blood we drink and body we eat, the genre-defying author Emmanuel Carr re revisits the story of the early Church in his latest work. With an idiosyncratic and at times iconoclastic take on the charms and foibles of the Church fathers, Carr re ferries readers through his 'doors' into the biblical narrative. Once inside, he follows the ragtag group of early Christians through the tumultuous days of the faith's founding. Shouldering biblical scholarship like a camcorder, Carr re re-creates the climate of the New Testament with the acumen of a seasoned storyteller, intertwining his own account of reckoning with the central tenets of the faith with the lives of the first Christians. Carr re puts himself in the shoes of Saint Paul and above all Saint Luke, charting Luke's encounter with the marginal Jewish sect that eventually became Christianity, and

La moustache
EMMANUEL CARRÈRE PREMIO PRINCESA DE ASTURIAS DE LAS LETRAS 2021 Un jour, pensant faire sourire votre femme et vos amis, vous rasez la moustache que vous portiez depuis dix ans. Personne ne le remarque ou, pire, chacun feint de ne l'avoir pas remarqué, et c'est vous qui souriez jaune. Tellement jaune que, bientôt, vous ne souriez plus du tout. Vous insistez, on vous assure que vous n'avez jamais eu de moustache. Deviendriez-vous fou ? Voudrait-on vous le faire croire ? Ou quelque chose, dans l'ordre du monde, se serait-il détraqué à vos dépens ? L'histoire, en tout cas, finit forcément très mal et, d'interprétations impossibles en fuite irraisonnée, ne vous laisse aucune porte de sortie. Ou bien si, une, qu'ouvrent les dernières pages et qu'il est fortement déconseillé d'emprunter pour entrer dans le livre. Vous voici prévenu.

Andra Liv Än Mitt Eget
Med några månaders mellanrum fick livet mig att bevittna de två saker som skrämmer mig mest av allt: ett barn som dör från sina föräldrar och en ung kvinna som dör från sina barn och sin make. Någon sa då till mig: du som är författare, varför inte berätta vår historia? Det var ett beställningsuppdrag, och jag åtog med det. Det var så jag kom att beskriva vänskapen mellan en man och en kvinna, båda tillfrisknade från cancer, båda med skador i benen, båda två domare med civilrättsärenden av överskuldsatta i Vienne som sitt arbetsfält. Den här boken handlar om liv och död, om sjukdom, om extrem fattigdom, om rättvisa och isynnerhet om kärlek. Och allt är sant. E.C. Carrère skriver sig längre och längre in i den mänskliga varat, och med denna dramatiska och samtidigt stillsamma bok har den franska dokumentärromanen funnit sin mästare.
