QR code
"Les yeux fermés : roman" by Thierry Sandre is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a blind man reflecting on his experiences, particularly focusing on two significant female figures in his life: his mother and Michelle, an infirmary nurse who attended to him during his time in the hospital. The themes of memory, love, and the challenges of accepting one's circumstances are central to the
narrative. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, who grapples with his blindness and a profound sense of solitude. He reflects on his past, recalling how he once found joy in exploring dictionaries and visiting the Bibliothèque Nationale. As he shares his struggle with memory, he mentions Michelle, who previously helped him navigate the world of books. Despite his affection for her, he contemplates the weight of his suffering and the harshness of truth that accompanies their relationship. The protagonist's thoughts reveal a complicated mix of longing, regret, and the desire to enchant his pain through writing, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery amidst his afflictions.
