..Così vide, alla fine, all'improvviso, il cielo sopra il palazzo macchiarsi del volo di centinaia d'uccelli, come esplosi via dalla terra, uccelli d'ogni tipo, stupefatti, fuggire ovunque, impazziti, cantando e gridando, pirotecnica esplosione di ali, e nube di colori sparata nella luce, e di suoni, impauriti, musica in fuga, nel cielo a volare..
...Hélène: "Che cosa sono?"
Hervè: "È una voliera."
"Una voliera?"
"Sì."
"E a cosa serve?"
"Tu la riempi di uccelli, più che puoi, poi un giorno che ti succede qualcosa di felice la spalanchi, e li guardi volar via."

Es hermoso y el final especialmente impactante. Una carta de amor contada con recelo y tardía
“c'était au reste un de ces hommes qui aiment assister à leur propre vie, considérant comme déplacée toute ambition de la vivre. On aura remarqué que ceux-là contemplent leur destin à la façon dont la plupart des autres contemplent une journée de pluie.”
Soie est le récit fragmenté d’une vie, celle d’Hervé Joncour, un négociant qui bâti sa fortune autour du commerce de la soie. Ancré dans un cadre historique, celui de la guerre et des voyages, le roman s’articule autour de 65 chapitres, ouvrant sur des vignettes de vie succinctes. Le texte empreint de musicalité arrive à mêler le sensuel, l’intime et l’inexprimable par un jeu de silences, et par une mise en page qui nous rappelle les haïkus japonais. L’art de la reprise à travers le triptyque départ-périple-retour fait résonner chaque épisode un peu plus et rythme la lecture comme un refrain avec ses variantes, nous plongeant dans l’écriture minimaliste de l’auteur, pour apprécier à chaque instant l’art délicat de l’évocation.

There’s a reason this book was a #1 international bestseller that has been translated in over 25 different languages. There’s something so evocative about this book - in essence, it is about the power of a dream.
Herve Joncour leaves his little French town to travel to the end of the world in search of Silkworm eggs. At the end of the world (Japan), he finds a girl. She says nothing; she simply looks at him with her large, beautiful eyes. He travels home, but is unable to stop thinking about her. Back and forth, France to Japan, Herve Joncour makes the journey over and over, even as Japan falls into war.
Divided into very short chapters, often repetitive, a little haunting, but so poignantly written, I devoured this book in just a few hours. I can’t stop thinking about the line, ‘It is a strange sort of pain...to die of yearning for something you’ll never experience.’
