Concerto in Memory of an Angel |
 |
What has a woman who poisons her husbands one after the other to do with an amorous President of the Republic? What is the link between a sailor and an international crook selling religious souvenirs made in China? By what miracle does Saint Rita, patron saint of desperate causes, become the mysterious guide of their lives? All these heroes might have made amends and chosen light over darkness. Each of them was once offered redemption. Some of them accepted, others refused, a few didn't even notice. In this collection, four stories interweave. Four stories that trace the ordinary and the extraordinary of every life. Four stories that explore the question: are we free or do we all have a fate? Can we change? Concerto in Memory of an Angel is followed by the diary Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt kept while he wrote the collection.
On sale from 4th March. The title came second on the list of best-sellers (source LivresHebdo). |

Milady – At the Theatre in Belgium |
 |
Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt’s Milady is a taut new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ popular novel, The Three Musketeers. Intense, action-packed, funny and tender, Milady, starring Natacha Amal in the lead role, offers audiences a whirlwind of excitement, swashbuckling sentiment, sensational duels and epic imagery. This grand spectacle will be put on with the same cloak-and-dagger panache as the acclaimed Le Bossu, which drew 20,000 spectators in the summer of 2008.
From 14 July to 7 August 2010 at the Villers-la-Ville Abbey.
