Absint is een boekje van amper 76 pagina's maar die lijken voldoende om een nostalgische sfeer te creëren rond de verloren drank absint (de groene fee die heel wat kunstenaars van rond het fin de siècle tot inspiratie was en/of tot ondergang werd). De verteller is een jongen die gefascineerd raakt door José, de lokale distillateur van absint. We volgen het met mysterie omgeven personage José van het einde van de Frans-Pruisische oorlog (op dat moment heet hij nog Jean Mardet), via Argentinië naar een dorpje in de Provence. Met het verbod op absint in 1915 verdwijnt niet alleen absint maar ook José en een hele tijdsperiode. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Absinthe is the story of Jean Mardet. In his house, a house noted on no official register, in his cellar, among his alembics and flagons, Jean, now known as Jose--priest, magician, sage--celebrates his curious mass, surrounded by his flock, distibuting his wonderful and bitter drink. And to a young boy in the village, Jose seems a wizard, and something more--revealing to the young boy the mysteries of absinthe and mesmerizing the youth with the fabulous stories and emotions that the drink inspires, until March 17, 1915. That day absinthe is outlawed in his country and Jose disappears, taking with him the secrets of his art and of his past. But a boy of nine has discovered the astonishing powers of absinthe, the green enchantress: he has daydreamed amid the chaos of the stills and has learned well at the hand of the old distiller. And in the mysteries of the green liquer has discovered his own past and future. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

In the film Moulin Rouge with Nicole Kidman, this drink appears as a cheerful intoxicant, but history has also shown that it had dangers. While in France, as reported in the book, a ban finally came about around 1915, in the Netherlands it was already banned in 1909 because in some cases it would lead to madness.
The writer shows us that absinthe held people in its power, apparently inspiring them, and takes us into a biography that revolves around the distiller Jose, interwoven with the influence he had on Jean's family. Not a high-flown story, but an attractive story in which you can almost feel the scents and colors of the absinthe rising from the pages. ( )
