À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. Routine, order and predictability shelter him from the messy, wider world. Then, at fifteen, Christopher's carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbor's dog, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer and turns to his favorite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents' marriage. As he tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, we are drawn into the workings of Christopher's mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon's choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotion. The effect is dazzling, making for a novel that is deeply funny, poignant, and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing is a mind that perceives the world literally . The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Tim e is one of the freshest debuts in years: a comedy, a heartbreaker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.

"Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts of empathy." -Ian McEwan, author of ATONEMENT and AMSTERDAM "I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable. I advise you to buy two copies; you wont want to lend yours out." --Arthur Golden, author of MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA " The Curious Incident brims with imagination, empathy, and vision -- plus it's a lot of fun to read." -Myla Goldberg, author of BEE SEASON, "Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb achievement.

  • I was not ready for the ending!

    never heard of this author. I bought it only because of the title. I really liked the book and would order another by the same author. Really no cons.

  • The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

    What a great story written from the point of view of an autistic boy. You really read his thought processes as he works his way thru the story and it helps you to understand how a person with this disorder figures it all out. I understand a lot more about how a person with this disorder who seems 'a little out' there to the rest of us, really has a reason for all the odd actions and responses to life. The father's relationship in the second half of the book was both touching and sad, but understandable from the boy's view. Amazing story by an amazing young man.

  • Love the hard cover book!

    Thanks - Just what was needed for class!
