Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. A very interesting concept of a book - two people who were once in love meeting after thirty years. Now they are both married and have their own family, yet they decide to start e-mailing on a regular basis, discussing things that happened to them in the past. Their letters are full of religious and philosophical ideas, which makes the book a bit difficult to read at some points. There were some great pages in this book that I really liked, including the abrupt ending, but there were also some parts which were too boring and too difficult to grasp. This is obviously a book that takes time to read and it should be re-read several times to get all the ideas. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Two former lovers are brought back together ... but can they really trust their pasts? The new novel from the bestselling author of SOPHIE'S WORLD. Through five intense years in the 1970s, Steinn and Solrunn had a happy life together. Then they suddenly parted ways, for reasons that are unclear to both. In the summer of 2007 they meet again on a balcony of an old wooden hotel by a fjord in western Norway. It is a place they both have fond memories from, and their meeting turns out to be fateful. But is it purely coincidental that they meet at that particular spot at that particular time? Over a couple of weeks that summer they write emails to each other, and it becomes clear that they have been living with very different interpretations of their shared past...

30 août 2012 ... Auteur du Monde de Sophie, le Norvégien Jostein Gaarder reprend la recette du roman philosophique avec Le Château des Pyrénées. Avec tout autant de didactisme, il orchestre un débat métaphysique opposant Steinn, le matérialiste athée, à Solrun, la mystique dualiste. Ces anciens amants se retrouvent dans la région de Bergen, trente ans après l’événement mystérieux, sinon criminel, qui a décidé de leur rupture. Et, dans un échange de mails quasi adultère (tous deux sont remariés), ils reviennent sur cet accident dont ils tirent deux interprétations de l’existence, orientées ou bien par le hasard ou bien par le destin. La forme dialoguée de l’ouvrage, artificielle et pas toujours bien tenue, apporte une dimension existentielle à cette dispute qui prend appui sur de nombreux exemples. Ainsi, un tableau de Magritte représentant un rocher flottant dans le vide donne son titre au livre et divise ces deux visions du monde : « miracle » pour l’une, ce Château des Pyrénées n’est pour l’autre qu’un « système ingénieux de poulies et de cordages invisibles ». Les grosses ficelles du roman sont, elles, bien visibles...
