Primal Roar : A Meditation on Nature and Humankind

The Snow Panther (La Panthère des Neiges) by Sylvain Tesson

March 6, 2022 by Saube75013 1 Comment

Writer Sylvain Tesson embarks on a journey with expert animal observer Vincent Munier in the high rocky plateaux of China, looking for the soon to be extinct and mythic Snow Leopard. They have to survive at polar temperatures in desolate landscapes where nature and wilderness reign supreme. The long hours of waiting for the famed leopard to cross the line of their cameras provide the notoriously prolix author plenty to think of the place of humankind and its evolution. Where did progress lead men ? […]

James Ellroy meets the War on Terror in the search for Honor and Soul

Pukhtu Primo by DOA

March 6, 2022 by Saube75013 Leave a Comment

In the fast-paced depiction of the war in Afghanistan at the end of 2000s, French author DOA depicts the search for the Afghan soul, the “Pukthu” – the code of honor and justice, that his characters pursue in vain.

Though well researched and entertaining, the book’s characters feel somehow a bit unoriginal. A sense of deja-vue echoes through the narrative of […]

Apocalypse Snow: The Terror, The Terror

The Terror by Dan Simmons

February 15, 2022 by Saube75013 Leave a Comment

Despite a few defaults (repetitive set pieces in the middle section, some predictable twists, probably too many characters), this tale of the ill fated expedition of the Royal Navy to the Arctic in the 1840s will be worth your time. Based on a true story (what fiction isn’t these days?) this mixes brilliantly exploration, survival and fantasy with a vivid style that will make you feel the cold, pain and suffering of the sailors who went to discover a passage to the north and found […]

  • KimMiE" on If I’m ever unsure as to the correct course of action, I’ll think, “What would a ferret do?” or, “How would a salamander respond to this situation?”I really liked this one too. She is such a tragic character but she makes me laugh so much.
