Farouk Bahri<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neuf ans apr\u00e8s L\u2019\u00c9l\u00e9gance du h\u00e9risson, le nouveau roman de Muriel Barbery, dont l\u2019intrigue m\u00eale la nature, l\u2019art et la magie, trouve son inspiration chez Jules Verne, J. K. Rowling et Jean Giono.<\/span><\/p>\n

Le come-back du ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne litt\u00e9raire<\/h2>\n

Pour son retour en librairie, Muriel Barbery n\u2019a choisi ni la facilit\u00e9 ni la pr\u00e9cipitation. Neuf ann\u00e9es de discr\u00e9tion et de travail ont nourri La Vie des elfes<\/em>. L\u2019ambition litt\u00e9raire et romanesque qui en a port\u00e9 l\u2019\u00e9criture est perceptible \u00e0 chaque ligne, dans le tissu du texte comme dans son projet d\u2019ensemble. Une inspiration multiple en traverse les pages, de Jules Verne \u00e0 J. K. Rowling, mais aussi de Jean Giono \u00e0 Sylvie Germain, car l\u2019intrigue m\u00eale la nature, l\u2019art et la magie.<\/p>\n

Command\u00e9es par Aelius, un elfe perverti, nouvel avatar du fameux Voldemort, les forces du mal veulent la destruction du monde humain. Elles seront combattues par Clara et Maria, fillettes aux grands pouvoirs, que le monde elfique a form\u00e9es pour instaurer, dans la guerre, l\u2019alliance des elfes et des hommes. Maria, qui commande aux nu\u00e9es, parle aux arbres et aux animaux, vit au milieu de paysans bourguignons. De superbes pages recr\u00e9ent ce monde qui sert la terre. Clara, jeune pianiste prodige, des Abruzzes \u00e0 Rome, d\u00e9ploie les enchantements de la musique jusque sur le lecteur. Muriel Barbery a compos\u00e9 un hymne – et un appel – \u00e0 l\u2019ancienne complicit\u00e9 des mains, de l\u2019esprit et de la nature, et ce n\u2019est pas un hasard si la bataille qu\u2019elle imagine est climatique.<\/p>\n

Enchantement ou pu\u00e9rilit\u00e9\u00a0?<\/h3>\n

D\u2019un chapitre \u00e0 l\u2019autre, le lecteur va de Maria \u00e0 Clara, de Rome \u00e0 la ferme des Combes. De nombreux personnages, plus extraordinaires les uns que les autres, entourent les deux magiciennes. Il y a des chasses et des sonates, des civets et des p\u00e2t\u00e9s, des savoirs ancestraux, des visions, des miracles, des trombes, des tourbillons opaques, des b\u00eates fantastiques, des myst\u00e8res, des pr\u00e9dictions, des contemplations. Tout est vibrant, sacr\u00e9, miroitant, ineffable, mythique, infini, g\u00e9od\u00e9sique. C\u2019est le reproche que l\u2019on pourrait tendrement faire \u00e0 Muriel Barbery: tout est exag\u00e9r\u00e9 et il y a beaucoup de grands mots dans La Vie des elfes<\/em>. Mais peut-on parler de magie sans en faire beaucoup? L\u2019auteur, on le devine, met tout en \u0153uvre pour que son lecteur voie et croie.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9fi et avalanche litt\u00e9raires, touffu comme une for\u00eat de contes qui ferait barri\u00e8re \u00e0 la lecture, La Vie des elfes<\/em> est un livre gonfl\u00e9. Cette qualification, un peu famili\u00e8re signifie autant l\u2019audace et le courage que la complication et le souffl\u00e9. Muriel Barbery s\u2019est risqu\u00e9e \u00e0 tout ce qu\u2019un \u00e9diteur d\u00e9conseille. Phrases charg\u00e9es, grandes formules, du dor\u00e9, du clinquant, de l\u2019insondable, de l\u2019in\u00e9narrable. On avance de perle en perle, certaines magnifiques, d\u2019autres tarabiscot\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

Les subordonn\u00e9es, qui ne sont pas des incidentes, vont sans fin en file indienne. Impossible de respirer. Et cependant un charme agit. C\u2019est le contraire d\u2019une \u00e9conomie de moyens : une acm\u00e9 de l\u2019accumulation, un lyrisme volontaire, quelque chose de difficile \u00e0 \u00e9crire et de pesant \u00e0 lire. On peut admirer et d\u00e9tester \u00e0 la fois. Pr\u00e9sageons que certains crieront au chef-d\u2019\u0153uvre foisonnant et m\u00e9taphorique, d\u2019autres au galimatias, \u00e0 l\u2019enflure amphigourique. Sans choisir entre cette cime et cet accident, j\u2019engage le lecteur \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir son propre sentiment.<\/p>\n
