La foire aux vanités de William Makepeace Thackeray
Le jeudi 25 novembre 2004
C’est sûr, voici un roman d’un âge déjà respectable puisque son auteur naquit en 1811. Et pourtant, passées les première pages (ne faut-il pas toujours un minimum de temps pour installer les personnages dans leur décor ?), il nous apparaît d’emblée extrêmement moderne. Il est rare en effet que, contrairement à son illustre contemporain, Charles DICKENS, THACKERAY use et abuse des "tics" d’écriture propres aux écrivains de l’époque.
