Sinceramente, mi aspettavo di meglio, dall’autore tanto osannato de ‘La biblioteca dei morti’. Forse dovevo iniziare proprio da quest’ultimo. La verità è che non avevo voglia di prendere un libro che avesse un seguito (e che quindi mi costringesse a precipitarmi in libreria a cercarlo, questo seguito, perché, a prescindere dal fatto che il capitolo iniziale di una ‘saga’ mi entusiasmi o meno, la curiosità di sapere ‘come va a finire’ poi mi rode finchè non trovo il modo di placarla, cioè leggendo il resto), cercavo quindi una storia autoconclusiva tanto per farmi un’idea sull’autore e decidere se valesse la pena poi di leggere anche le altre sue opere. Direi che a questo punto le probabilità che tale ipotesi si realizzi sono piuttosto remote.
Oddio, la storia in sé sarebbe pure carina, anche se si riesce a scoprire quale sia questo incredibile segreto celato da migliaia di anni praticamente appena se ne comincia a parlare.
Peccato però che niente di tutto il resto funzioni.
Audace (in senso negativo però) l’idea di coinvolgere nella narrazione alcune vicende riguardanti i famosi Abelardo ed Eloisa, i quali - povere anime, nemmeno dopo 900 anni li lasciano riposare in pace! - di questa chiamata in causa avrebbero fatto più che volentieri a meno. Un romanzo di questo tipo (nel senso, scritto male ed elaborato peggio) non è certo il contesto ideale per rendere giustizia a due personaggi di una tale levatura. Ed infatti… lasciamo perdere che è meglio.
Scontato, invece, il riferimento a Bernardo di Chiaravalle e ai suoi – indovinate un po’ - Cavalieri Templari; eh, ne sentivamo la mancanza. Ma non preoccupatevi, fortunatamente i nostri beniamini svolgono una parte assai marginale nel dipanarsi dell’intreccio, appena un accenno così, per stuzzicare l'attenzione; per cui - e la domanda, caro Glenn, qui sorge spontanea,- che bisogno c’era di tirarli in ballo? Per far contento Giacobbo? Sarete mica amici, tu e lui, eh? Che bella coppia di fatto sareste! Che poi, per carità, la sottoscritta apparterrebbe pure a quella schiera di persone che non appena scorge la croce rossa su fondo bianco va in brodo di giuggiole, e comincia a blaterare di quel venerdì 13 del 1307 saltando su un piede solo e sulle note dell’Aida. Ma a tutto c’è un limite, anche per una invasata come me; visto lo scempio che mi compie il caro Glenn con tutti gli altri personaggi, non oso pensare cosa mi avrebbe combinato se avesse deciso di cimentarsi anche con un Cavaliere Templare. Mon dieu.
Ecco, appunto, i personaggi: la nota più dolente (praticamente una picconata sulle gengive farebbe meno male) dell’intero romanzo. Signore, che nervi. Che antipatia. Che orticaria. Tutti, dal primo all’ultimo (non se ne salva uno, NEMMENO I CATTIVI!), mi sono risultati, a scelta nell’ordine: banali, stereotipati, scontati, superficiali, arroganti, pieni di disfunzioni sessuali, depressi, grottesci, inconcludenti e irrimediabilmente stupidi (ribadisco, pure i cattivi!). Introspezione psicologica: level zero. Gli unici che potrebbero salvarsi da questa carneficina sono gli uomini preistorici (30.000 a.C., si legge all’inizio di ogni capitolo a loro dedicato. Ohibò. Anzi, parbleau.) a cui è affidato un po’ tutto l’antefatto della faccenda. In una ipotetica sfida di intelligenza tra il capoclan di Neanderthal e il professore-protagonista (sfolgorante - almeno nelle intenzioni del suo creatore - esempio di 'homo sapiens sapiens'), non avrei dubbi su chi scommettere.
Il ritmo è un altro degli elementi completamente sconclusionati di questo pseudo-thriller. Per tutta la prima parte non succede praticamente niente, nella seconda invece comincia a succedere di tutto; ma mancando completamente la suspence, nel senso che è tutto comunque perfettamente prevedibile, non si può certo dire che un lettore si possa godere questo susseguirsi di colpi di scena, perché l’unico colpo che potrebbe seriamente coinvolgerlo è quello che vorrebbe dare in testa al personaggio di turno che davanti ai suoi occhi, nello scorrere delle parole, si sta avviando inevitabilmente e inesorabilmente a fare la figura dell’idiota.
Detto questo, che non è poco, ritengo comunque doveroso un piccolo accenno all’unica nota positiva di questo ‘capolavoro’: la descrizione dei paesaggi. Ah, questo sì che funziona! Sembrava proprio di essere lì, in Dordogna, nelle vallate e nelle gole del Perigòrd, sotto un abbagliante sole francese, lo stesso sole che per 15 anni ha reso speciali tutte le mie vacanze estive… E allora, a dispetto di tutte le cose cattivissime che ho scritto fin ora, non posso fare a meno di lasciarmi prendere dalla nostalgia e permettere a questa di addolcirmi un po’, tanto da spingermi ad aumentare di una stellina il voto finale: da una a due. Sono troppo buona.
In conclusione, non mi sento sinceramente di consigliare la lettura di questo libro, neanche come passatempo da spiaggia. Non vorrete mica rischiare che vi venga il nervoso e rovinarvi così la digestione, tanto da pregiudicarvi il bagno pomeridiano, no? (Tranquilli, non potrebbe comunque rovinarvi l’intera vacanza, non ha una tale presa sulla coscienza da costringervi a pensarci tanto a lungo; a meno che non abbiate a disposizione solo un weekend o pochi giorni, in questo caso STATENE ALLA LARGA, lo dico per il vostro bene e per la vostra serenità).
A pensarci su un attimo, però, nell'ipotesi in cui questo agosto abbiate in animo di farvi un bel viaggetto nel Sud della Francia (che merita sempre, a prescindere), potreste comunque prendere in considerazione l'idea di portarvelo dietro (preso in prestito dalla biblioteca, si intende). Ma non per leggerlo. Per usarlo in alternativa alla guida turistica.

Como ya nos tiene acostumbrados Glenn Copper, la novela se desarrolla en varias épocas históricas: en la actualidad y en los siglos XII -XIV, prehistoria y alguna mención a la segunda Guerra Mundial. En ella se mezclan personajes históricos reales, como por ejemplo Abelardo y Eloísa y su famoso romance, con personajes y hechos ficticios que están bien hilvanados entre sí dándole así un alto grado de credibilidad.

The map inside points at a cave with primitive, but astounding, paintings on its walls. The book is sent to Paris for restoration and that's where Hugo Pineau, a literary historian, first sees the book. He enlists the help of archaeologist, Luc Simard, to find the cave and decipher its secrets. Soon after the team assembles at the cave and the work begins, it's apparent that this discovery is extraordinary. However, all is not well as one accidental death becomes two and the team is put in harm's way. As the bodies pile up, it's up to the survivors to race against time to save the cave, preserve its secret while trying to stay alive.

I really enjoyed this book. The story is engaging, extremely interesting and mostly plausible. Like his other books, Cooper jumps around to different time periods to tell the whole story. In this one, the story mainly takes place in the 12th century, 30,000 BP, and the present, with little forays into 1307 and 1899. While he doesn't present the story chronologically, it's pretty easy to follow. I love how the little clues add up to one stunning conclusion revealing the ancient secrets.

The characters in this book were excellent. I really liked Luc, Hugo and Sara (from the present), but my favourites were from 30,000 BP. - just like Giuseppe - his book has characters from the prehistoric age too! Cooper did a great job of depicting them and their lives. I did have a little trouble keeping track of some of the minor characters in the story.

One complaint is that in a couple of places the book sometimes read like a history textbook rather than a novel. (Saint Bernard, Abélard and Heloise, World War I and II. I know getting the background and history information in is necessary, but for me it doesn't make interesting reading. Remembering dates and events for those dates reminds me too much of school where history was not my forte. However, that didn't stop me from really enjoying the book.

Cooper is American but writes like an Englishman...I wonder.
New words:
scapular : a loose sleeveless garment worn by Christian monks
caldarium : Roman hot bath
sibilant : producing a hissing sound
propitious ): favourable
desiccating : remove the moisture from something
comity (page 142): courteous behavior
BP (240): used in archaeology it means years before the present as in 30,000 BP. Much like BC or BCE.
maquisard : same as maquis, which is the French Resistance in WWII

Highly Recommended. Despite the fact that at times I felt like I was reading a text book, the rest of the book more than makes up for that.

While this isn't the most earth-shattering read to land on my desk, Glenn Cooper nonetheless delivers an entertaining novel.

When a mysterious illuminated manuscript is discovered, Simard is discovers a cave that rivals the splendors of Lascaux.

An earlier comment around p. 60 mentions a problem with the stiff style, perhaps because of the translation into French, and I'm hardly a judge of stiff French, at least not the ultimate one; however, I am not bad at ''feeling'' French style. I was also getting bored with it by then, perhaps because I didn't really empathize (or even like) any of the characters. That changed once introduced to another time frame after that page (& new charaters), and if the oldest time frame was stiff, it was fully justified. Each time I returned to the present in France, the feeling sort of returned for that group, but I must admit the other frames deepened my interest, or rather broadened it, perhaps because the characters didn't matter as much to maintain my interest. The original criticisms on style and character still lurk in my assessment, but have been tempered. I came to like Sarah and follow Luc more closely, perhaps because he kind of grew a bit, too. All the others were fairly flat, despite the help of a psychologist Cooper thanks at the end.
Otherwise, I was duly impressed with how he tied all the knots, at least those I was following, and that was quite a long list across the millenia, including a cell phone (see review of Barbarian Nurseries), not to mention frescos, relatives and relationships, potions, plants, and many other levels of details. No, the cell phone remained in the narrative present, and if there was any time machine, it was hardly mechanical.
I dare not say anything about the style, of course, but would welcome a quick peek at an English copy to check. The French did not read like translated from the English, but perhaps it is sensed by there not being as many of the colloquialisms or turns of phrase and differences in speech styles between characters as I'd expect in a French book of any quality.
Based on what I appreciated of the story and on the interest of the science and history, I'd recommend others to give it a try, and welcome an assessment of the style, if it matters to you.(less)

Whilst the novel goes back and forth between the time periods the story needs to cover, the chronological order is: Pre-History. Medieval Middle Ages. Second World War. Modern day. Quite a spread and unusually (from my point of view anyway) all set in France. Though all the better for that, I say.

It is however, a bit of a mixed success. The story hangs around a series of interlocking cave chambers that are discovered in modern times, with cave paintings that are the rival to or better than, those found at other comparable sites like Lascaux. The new cave system's paintings near the French village of Ruac (which seems to be a fictional place) are, apart from being much better, also much, much older. But why have the caves remained hidden until now? Our 'guide' through the story, Luc Simard is an archaeologist called to a Monastery where a rare book is found that needs de-coding and preserving. By accident, he and his friend, an expert in book preservation, stumble across the caves nearby the Abbey and make the link between the paintings and the book - and a secret many people have and still are fighting and killing to protect.

It is all handled quite effectively. The pace is excellent, with a measured build up to around the middle of the novel, where the hero is beginning to put deus and deus together and realise he's neither alone in his quest, nor safe. From there, it goes up several gears and becomes quite a tense race to the final conclusion.

Whilst technically it is all handled very well, it doesn't really reach the peaks it could have done. It stays in the lowlands. It doesn't really develop the series of interesting incidents with possibilities, into anything more substantial. I think this might be to do with trying to touch too many novel-type bases. It's part Clan of the Cave Bear, part medieval mystery whodunnit - drags in the Templars of course - part WWII drama and part modern day suspense novel. I was left a little not let down, but just feeling 'oh well', when I finished. I am going to recommend it to you, but more as a diverting and reasonably interesting read for a couple of days, rather than a novel that will change your life or live on in your memory longer than it took to read this...(less)

One of those Dan Brown cash-ins you seem to see everywhere around.

This one started off strongly but soon deteriorated. Cooper builds up the mystery surrounding the ancient cave very strongly, then adds in some Ten Little Indians-style murders which ratchet up the tension no end. Unfortunately, about halfway through the book that plot comes to an end, and then the author seems at a loss what to write about.

Annoyingly, he chooses to incorporate two other elements of history relevant to the contemp...more

Il terzo libro di Gleen Cooper si distacca dai precedenti aprendo un nuovo ciclo narrativo e spostando l'attenzione sulle pitture paleolitiche e sulla chiusa cittadina di Ruac.
Agli occhi di un lettore assiduo,la trama sa però di già visto e molti degli eventi narrati sono troppo prevedibili per suscitare sorpresa nel lettore. Solo un buon intrattenimento.

Well....It was a nice novel,though nothing spectacular.I'm not a big fan of Cooper's way of writing, because according to his dialogs there isn't much diffrence between modern people, 13th century monks and a tribe that lived 30.000 years BC. Apart from that it was an interesting story. I disliked that so many people died, of course in every book there are certain accidents and characters die,but here died like all of them except for two.
Anyway,my overall experience with the book was good.

Cooper's third book started off slow and I really felt he had taken a big step backwards. He really asks the reader to suspend belief much more than most books I've read, to the point where the actions in the story are just not believable. However, he does redeem himself somewhat, in the end. Not his best effort, but still worth the read if you enjoyed his first two books.
