Beleška o naslovu: u knjizi se navodi da je prevedena sa francuskog izdanja pod nazivom Sept contes, pa je ovde na GR pridružujem njemu a ne francuskim izdanjima Pjeroa.

Elem, Turnije je autor prema kom se osećam... promenljivo... a ova tanušna zbirka priča izaziva priličnu nelagodu kod čitalaca (mene). Nagađam da će kod dece izazvati pre blagu dosadu nego išta drugo, ali mogu samo da nagađam. Odraslom čitaocu ostaje da se divi kako je neko uspeo da u iste tesne okvire kratke priče spakuje tešku i povremeno trapavu alegoriju (i ekološku i inicijacijsku, kako kad), motive iz bajki (Palčić), komedije del arte (Pjero), klasične književnosti (Robinzon), prvu menstruaciju i predosećaj erotskog (Amandina), ljubavni trougao koji se razrešava simbolički prikazanom ali jasnom trojkom (Pjero), marihuanu i grupni dečji seks/štagod (Palčić), i da, ako ste do sada počeli da se pitate da li sam odlutala do neke druge knjige namenjene odraslima ili makar omladini, NISAM.
U svakom slučaju, oduševljeno pozdravljam slobodoumnost poznojugoslovenskih urednika i prevoditeljke koji su ovo progurali u klasičnoj ediciji Lastavica i nadam se da se bar neko od dečjih čitalaca u to doba ovajdio od ove knjige :D

Seja a dar nova versão a contos conhecidos (como o de Pierrot), ou novo final a histórias por ele retrabalhadas (como a de Robinson Crusoue), ou ainda a criar novos enredos, Tournier tudo entrega numa escrita delicodoce sempre agradável, simples e embaladora, sem por isso perder em força simbólica. As suas frases vêm com força sugestiva e a simplicidade poética nunca deixa de revelar densidade e profundidade, queiramos nós mergulhar mais fundo. Autor a merecer ser lido e relido.

Les sept contes de Michel Tournier me ressemblent: ils sont farfelus, légèrement dérangeants et androgynes; c’est ce qui fait que je les relis régulièrement depuis la sixième, quand nous les avions étudiés.

Ces contes là sont bel et bien pour les adultes: une Colombine qui fait des infidélités à Pierrot, un roi qui renaît, une mère Noël donnant la sein, un chat male et femelle à la fois…
J’aime la quête ou l’absence de polarisation sexuelle chez ces personnages, qui est une manière de briser les convenances, de casser les moules bien plus efficacement que tout texte plus revendicatif. Ce sont des contes pour enfant, le temps béni de la neutralité, quand on croit encore à Pierrot ou à l’île de Robinson Crusoé.

One of the first books I tried to read in French and a good choice it was for me. I felt the density of the layers of thought in the stories and could enjoy it, my low level French comprehension notwithstanding.
