The novel “My name is Brodeck”, awarded the Goncourt Lyceum Prize, is compared with the works of Camus and Kafka, Schlink’s “The Reader” and Coetzee’s “Infamy”. This is one of those books that cannot be forgotten, to which you mentally return every now and then, remembering lines, words, images. Miraculously surviving in the concentration camp Brodek, who said goodbye to life more than once, was forced to go against his nature in order to survive and return to his beloved woman, remembers day after day everything that he had to endure, and, like a puzzle , puts his life together, reflecting on the motives of those people who tried to break this life.
