Review of "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" by Muriel Barbery

This book was on my list for a while 'time but only when I saw the advertisement for the film I remembered. Using as an excuse for Italian job, I went to borrow at the library.
I must admit it was a little hard to read because it's content, even if they are my favorites, both are narrated by Renée Paloma that he would do as a professor of a distinguished University passionate, though, to his work.

We are in Paris in an elegant building inhabited by upper-class families. Since its gatehouse assist the flow of this life of luxury, the emptiness concierge Renée, who appears in all respects in accordance with the very idea of the concierge: fat, slovenly, surly and couch potato. Instead, unbeknownst to all, Renée is a cultured autodidact who adores art, philosophy, music, Japanese culture.
Then there's Paloma, the daughter of a minister obtuse; twelve brilliant, brilliant and too glossy, tired of living, decided to call it quits (June 16, the day of his thirteenth birthday, to be exact). Until then continue to pretend to be a girl and soaked in mediocre adolescent subculture like any other.
Two characters in disguise, so different and yet united by the ironic disenchanted, unaware that the deception of the other one, will meet only with the arrival of Monsieur Ozu, a wealthy Japanese, the only one that will expose René ee its old, painful secret

The novel itself is interesting, especially after the error on my part of the reading of certain SO ORIBBILI someone dares to call novels.
The world and life are seen in a way that I had ever faced. While Renee is aware of his intelligienza but hides it because you feel obligated to play a well-defined role in the world, Paloma, who knows its potential, no longer wishes to hide, and prefers to kill himself even if it seems to search a reason not to. The novel, in fact, a total is divided into three types of chapters: the chapter Renéeei chapters Paloma which are divided into "deep thought" and "Movement of the world." The chapters of Paloma, in fact, are what she writes in two distinct books. In deep thoughts are considerations Paloma on the world, life, school, but in my opinion, the most interesting chapters are represented by the Movement of the World, a description and reflection on these movements, gestures, which caretterizzano life Paloma look for and where the beauty and art.
E 'became famous thanks to a mouth frightening and should release the film. In Italy, unfortunately, the book was torn to pieces by the critics.
Now I can not help but leave you with two quotes from the book, respectively, from the thoughts of the Movement Renéee World Paloma

As always being polite, are rarely polite, do not love me, but I tolerate it ; closely correspond to the paradigm of the concierge forged by common sense. Consequently, I represent one of the many gears that allow the operation of that great universal illusion that life has meaning is easy to decipher. And if it is written somewhere that the concierges are old, ugly and shrewish, so, on the same idiot firmament, is solemnly recorded in letters of fire that these caretakers are lazy cats dozing on pillows all day covered with crocheted pillowcases.

*********************

Everyone was mesmerized by him, but nobody seemed to understand exactly why . Yet it became clear during the haka: he moved, the other did the same moves, but while others went to the movements of opponents and from the stadium that looked at them, the gestures of this player remained in him, remained focused on himself, and this gave him a presence, incredible intensity. And so the haka, which is a warrior's hand, is charged with extraordinary power. The strength of a soldier is not in the energy it takes to intimidate the enemy by sending a bunch of signals, but in the ability to concentrate in itself the force focusing on himself. The Maori player turned into a tree, a huge oak tree, indestructible, with deep roots, a powerful radiation, and everyone felt. Yet we had the certainty that the big oak tree could also have particular, it would be like the wind, despite or because of its deep roots.
