Commentary Concering Books Métaphysique des tubes
"Il existe des êtres qui ne subissent pas la loi de l'évolution. Ce sont les légumes cliniques", ou des tubes par où circule seule la nourriture. Ces tubes ne sont pas pour autant sans cervelle puisqu'il arrive que celle-ci, suite à un "accident fatal", se réveille soudain, et déclenche la vie. C'est exactement ce qu'a vécu la (très) jeune narratrice de Métaphysique des tubes durant les deux premières années de sa vie qui furent muettes, immobiles, végétatives, bref divines. Au sens propre, car ce singulier bébé n'ignore pas qu'il est Dieu lui-même, méditant sur ce monde qu'il hésite à rejoindre. Sous forme de monologues intérieurs, considérations philosophico-drolatiques, on déguste le récit de ces trois premières années d'une vie française au Japon, pays merveilleux où de la naissance à la maternelle, l'enfant est un dieu.Specify Books Supposing Métaphysique des tubes

Another great book by Amélie Nothomb whose mix of sarcasm, humor and feelings is amazing.This time she talks about herself? from birth to about 3 years old. What can be told about a baby and then toddler who is not even aware of its own existence? Well, it's worth reading. You'll be amazed by the wisdom of this newly born being...Just to give an example, I leave you one of the paragraphs I loved:"Quelle est la différence entre les yeux qui ont un regard et les yeux qui n'ent ont pas? CetteWriters create worlds in their books. These worlds may be reflections of the real, physical world, but they do not have to be. The only constraint writers are subject to while creating these worlds is to make them internally consistent (and original and captivating, of course). Amelie Nothomb has created in her books a world in which a little child (in "The Character of Rain" the narrator is Amelie herself at the age between two and three) is fully developed intellectually and emotionally, able
I had a totally different idea of what the book was supposed to be about at the beginning, then slowly and surely understood the irony in her voice. Cute book, interesting cultural notations as well.
A more detailed description of Amelie's childhood. Like all her autobiographical works, I loved it!The beginning was a most awkward and fascinating one. She awakes at the taste of chocolate, oh Amelie, I think I understand what you are trying to say. Chocolate is a most exquisite food, is it not? :)When the "tube" finally awakens we get to see her experience in the beautiful Japan. I do think I loved Japan more through her eye. Every-time I hear about this country I fall in love again, they are
Lovely little novel - funny and insightful.
French is not my first language, nor my second. So the first times I started reading this I never got past page 17. For many months I ignored the book. Then a week ago I took it with me on the train and when I got home again I had reached page 57. This is an amazing book, written from the point of view of a child between two-and-a-half and three years old, except for the first part of the book where the same child has a rather strange start in life which is told in third person (but still as
