The incomparable Amélie Nothomb has become famous for her brilliant short novels, which she has been releasing annually for over thirty years. Translated in forty countries from the USA to Japan, they have earned her numerous prestigious awards, including the Grand Prix of the French Academy and one of Europe's main literary awards - the Strega Prize. This book includes two of her novels, both about love.
"Thirst" is the story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, told from his perspective. In his final hours, he reminisces about happy days with Mary Magdalene, thinks about the Father, the sufferings and joys of the body, and most importantly, about love. Amélie Nothomb calls "Thirst" the book of her life, and Christ - her absolute hero.
The novel was shortlisted for the Goncourt Prize, and the prestigious magazine Lire included it in the list of the "100 best books of the year."
"The Book of Sisters" is a novel with the "surprises" that Amélie Nothomb usually hides in her books. Tristana grows up in an emotional vacuum from birth until her sister is born. Her parents, deeply in love with each other, do not let anyone into their fortress of love, not even their own children. Growing up and becoming a woman, Tristana is forced to overcome the trauma she experienced in early childhood.
