Не знаю была такая тема или нет.Но хочется обсудить творчество данного ооочень интересного писателя.Каникулы в коме и 99 франков - два безумно интересных романа.99 франков на ряду с Охотой на овец(мураками) в моём топ1.Вот начал читать "Любовь живет 3 года" но как то скучно идёт повествование , не могу из себя выжать и дочитать его.

Кароче дискасс писателя,ок.

The greatness of this book is in its title.

While the story itself is far from being memorable - too much radical chic, too much ego, too little grammar - the title has taken a life by its own.

 

The original, pre-Euro 99 Francs was translated in Italian in Lire 26.900, almost the exchange rate of year 2001.

In Germany it was rendered with 39,90 DM, the price of the first edition.

And in UK was published as £9.99, coherently with the original concept.

Now that France, Italy and Germany have the same currency, the title is 14,99 Euros in France - the proper exchange rate of 1 January 2002 - the Italians are offering a cheaper Euro 13,89 - non sense for marketing, this is the plain conversion in Euro of older translation - and the Germans are wittingly playing with the same 39,90 where the first digit "3" is now discolored and the title looks almost like 9,90.

The Brittons decided for a stronger rebate - the novel in the Kingdom goes under "Was 9.99, Now 6.99"

 

I find quite ironic that a book satirising marketing was twisted in so many ways by the publishers, for marketing reasons. I suspect that monsieur Beigbeder planned it.
