Favorite book

Well, this time i have to tell you about my favorite book, i don´t have one jaja because every book has somethig that make it especial for me, but there is one... The elegance of the hedgehog, some day i watched l'herisson (the film adaptation) i found it interesting and i decided to buy the book.

this book is special for me cause the story made me think diferent, observe and pay atenttion to little things of life and people.

it's a french book that i read years ago, written by Muriel Barbery. It tells the story of a girl, Paloma, she is 12 years old and she decided to commit suicide in her 13th birthday because she don't find something that worth. It tells the story of a woman too, Renee, she is a concierge,  an autodidact in literature and philosophy, but conceals it to avoid the condemnation of the building's tenants, she pretends to indulge in concierge-type food and low-quality television, while in her back room she actually enjoys high-quality food, listens to opera, and reads works by Lev Tolstoy (anna karenina is one of my favorites books too) and Edmund Husserl. Thanks a new tenant: Ozu, Paloma and Renee meet each other, Renée comes out of her internal seclusion, teaching young Paloma that not all adults pursue vanity at the expense of their intelligence and humanity. But the story has a terrible ending...
