Par Jorge Semprun. 1994

le lauréat du concours général de philosophie, le jeune poète qui connaît déjà tous les intellectuels parisiens découvre à Buchenwald ce qui n'est pas donné à ceux qui n'ont pas connu les camps : vivre sa mort. Un temps, il va croire qu'on peut exorciser la mort par l'écriture. Mais écrire renvoie à la mort. Pour s'arracher à ce cercle vicieux, il sera aidé par une femme, bien sûr, et peut-être par un objet très prosaïque : le parapluie de Bakounine, conservé à Locarno. Dans ce tourbillon de la mémoire, mille scènes, mille histoires rendent ce livre sur la mort extrêmement vivant.Semprun aurait pu se contenter d'écrire des souvenirs, ou un document. Mais il a composé une œuvre d'art, où l'on n'oublie jamais que Weimar, la petite ville de Goethe, n'est qu'à quelques pas de Buchenwald. 2005, c1994.Ecriture: mémoires d'un métier (Le Livre de poche)
