Pierre Christin Boeken
27 juli 1938 – 3 oktober 2024
Pierre Christin was een gevierde Franse schrijver, wiens werken werden gekenmerkt door diepe reflecties op de maatschappij en de menselijke natuur. Zijn verhalen verkenden vaak complexe interpersoonlijke relaties en morele dilemma's met een subtiele toets van ironie en kritiek. Christin verweefde meesterlijk spannende plotlijnen met tot nadenken stemmende beschouwingen over politiek, geschiedenis en culturele conflicten. Zijn unieke stijl en zijn vermogen om levendige personages te creëren, lieten een onuitwisbare indruk achter in de literaire wereld.

Do we really want our dreams fulfilled? And, when given everything wished for, what is life like? This docufantasy about a small town saved from disaster and pushed into utopia provokes such questions. The story is framed by a boy's two contrasting dreams of utopia. The first, a majestic otherworldly city filled with surreal amusements; the second, a mundane but familiar working class town. The dramatic shift of the child's fantasies results from a remarkable offer accepted by the people of his town. The factories that are the life blood of the town are about to close, despite efforts by the striking workers. When the owner, the aged founder of a multimillion dollar empire, suddenly dies, the town expects little help from his heir, an invalid granddaughter. In fact, the enigmatic lady also has a dream. Her determination and money create a new town ... the town that didn't exist
