2. “Villa triste” or "The Villa of Sadness" by Patrick Modiano.


A) Synopsis of the story: The story begins by describing some events of the last day of the life of 37-year-old French doctor, René Med, before he committed suicide in his villa the same night. The narrator, describing moments of this doctor's day, remembers how he met him and his beautiful friend, the budding actress Yvonne Zacket, who was meant to become his great lover of that summer. The author's summer relationship with Yvonne is literally portrayed as a beautiful dream. His discourse is very descriptive and lyrical, thus conveying to the reader a great deal of his feelings and experiences.


B) The Benefits of the Book: The book is enjoyed more by readers who love extended descriptions and highly artistic speech. Undoubtedly, the author has the gift, through his crafty writing, of conveying images and emotions almost identical to the mind and soul of the reader. This book is likely to be loved by more than average readers.


C) The Disadvantages of the Book: Someone who loves literature so much can hardly find flaws in this book by Montiano. But a reader who likes to read exclusively complex plots, adventure books, tweaks and mystery, may be bored.


C) A hidden meaning in reading: In one's life, one can experience various beautiful situations, which he then believes will last forever, but over time he may remember them as lyrical dreams he once saw in his sleep ...
