The Elegance of the Hedgehog

The Elegance of the Hedgehog The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery


My review


rating: 5 of 5 stars
So far, only halfway through, but loving it. Remembrance of the French Intellectual of my youth! Truly original, but reminiscent of Montaigne, Colette, of course Proust (and William Carlos Williams), with the comic touch of Moliere. An excellent apologia for life.

Also highly recommended to read while drinking a bottle of French wine--or a pot of tea.

Well done!
