Selon l ́auteur, la port©♭e du roman d©♭passe le seul g©♭nocide des Juifs pour rev©®tir une dimension universelle. Les angles d ́approche dans Les Bienveillantes de Jonathan Littell sont aussi nombreux que vari©♭s sans pr©♭tendre © l ́exhaustivit©♭. Ce recueil n ́est pas un jugement de l ́¿uvre, ni une interrogation sur sa recevabilit©♭, pas plus qu ́une assertion sur les limites de sa l©♭gitimit©♭ en tant que roman ou une justification, mais ce recueil est novateur puisque le premier © se concentrer sur le texte des Bienveillantes.Le pr©♭sent recueil offre un riche ©♭ventail d ́angles d ́approches.

Les Bienveillantes (The Kindly Ones), caused a literary sensation in 2006. Described as "deliberately repellent" by The New York Times, Jonathan Littell ́s novel tells the story of World War II through the eyes of former SS officer Maximilien Aue. This is the first academic study of this controversial, best-selling work. Twenty-one leading scholars discuss the aesthetics, themes and characters of the novel, as well as formal aspects of Littell ́s writing. They tackle ideas surrounding parricide, genocide, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, as well as Littell ́s portrayal of both historical and fictional characters. The collection offers a deeply varied range of approaches to Littell ́s work and is essential reading for anyone interested in representations of World War II, the Holocaust and contemporary French literature.… (more)
