La Petite Malika - commentaire

Je viens de lire la Petite Malika de Habiba Mahany & Mabrouck Rachedi. La suite est mon commentaire que j'ai mis sur Amazon et Visual Bookshelf.

Ce récit chronologique est dit à la première personne du point de vue de la protagoniste. Il commence lentement, peut-être avec un peu trop du contexte au début du premier chapitre. Mais il accélère vite, et le reste de l'histoire se déroule très bien, parfois avec humour, parfois tristesse, et souvent plein d'espoir pour l'avenir.

Je ne me trouvais qu'en voulant que la protagoniste soit un peu moins objective de ses expériences. Son impartialité la fait sembler un peu trop inaccessible de mes yeux. Mais l'histoire soi-même montre que même une fille surdouée peut apprendre et agrandir (mûrir?).

Normalement j’hésiterais être la première personne à rédiger un commentaire en français, mais je voulais encourager plus des commentaires pour raisons égoïstes -- je voulais voir si mon interprétation a un sens et est au moins un peu correct (j'effacerai le mien sur Amazon si j'ai manqué entièrement le point). J'aimerais lire des autres commentaires sur ce livre -- j'accueille vos avis ici ou des liens aux autres commentaires.

    HA! I understood everything. HA!

    But I still think the book would be too much for my French ... still sticking to TinTin ... someone might translate it .. hm? HMMM?? ;-)

    I am definitely not the person to translate it, novels are technically too much for my French, too. I skim over new words as I read, but note them to look up later. I did copy edit a manuscript that had already been translated from Dutch once, though.

    There is another review up on Amazon (he must have posted around the same time I did) that is much more comprehensive than mine. Makes me think I should re-read the book.

    A friend of mine does a translation of a book from Dutch to German. Just for fun. She paused during the summer but I guess will finish it sooner or later. I really admire her because of her stamina.

    But isn't this the usual - that everyone sees different aspects. It's like panta rhei : the book is never the same book, the novel is never the same novel.

    Eh - my first steps in philosophy, late at night ....

    Gardening is my fun. At least during good weather. It's not so fun in the rain.

    I wish panta rhei applied to the aging process, then I could be anti-aging as I age.

    Most of the time I think it's cool - getting older. Only when by chance I see a four year old photo and realise there has been a time not so far away when my hair wasn't grey ... :-S

    For me it's the sun damage. Too many years out in the sun. Age spots... wrinkles... sigh...

    Never used sunscreen. Can't be healthy. No. Only when friends force me - wintersport, moutains, snow, heights ... these things. Someone has to hold my arms and hands and someone has to put this smeary slimey stuff on my face. Brrrr.
