Printz Honor Award 2011, USA Le jour de la rentrée, Pierre Anthon, élève de 4'ème, annonce qu'il a compris que la vie n'a pas de sens, "parce que tout commence pour finir", et il quitte l'école pour se percher dans un prunier. Paru en danois en 2000, Rien a recu le prix du meilleur livre jeunesse décerné par le Ministère de la Culture danois. Cette aventure à la recherche existentielle du sens de la vie, a suscité une grande controverse au Danemark, et après en tout Europe. Aujourd'hui, il est un bestseller dans plusieurs pays du monde, et un des livres les plus lus avec les adolescents à l'école. Voir aussi: PRESSE “Gorgeously lyrical and dreadfully bleak.” (starred) Kirkus Review, USA “This beautiful and frightening book stopped me in my tracks.” David Almond, The Guardian, UK “What more do you wish from literature?” Der Spiegel, Germany “Describes the search that everyone endeavors, but which has never before been told so riveting.” Die Zeit, Germany „This book is a hammer!“ ZDF, Germany “NOTHING is at the level of “Animal Farm”, “The Wave” and “Lord of the Flies”. … should be read by all, old as young.” ARD Kultur, Germany „If you want to know how people can become fanatics willing to sacrifice everyone and everything, just read NOTHING.“ Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany „Teller goes even further than William Golding in ‚Lord of the Flies‘ or ‚Morten Rhue in ‚The wave. She shows how not only the group pressures determine human action, but more so the fear of our own inner emptyness, of meaninglessness. Therefore, NOTHING is one of the most literarily and philosophically interesting young adult books in years.“ Tages-Anzeiger, Switzerland “A sensation.” Volkskrant, the Netherlands “Great art!” LMdA, France “NOTHING is a book that marks the spirit forever. .. Remarkable!” Lirado, France “Indelible, elusive, and timeless, this uncompromising novel has all the marks of a classic.” (starred) Booklist, USA “Shocks the reader, digs deep into the reader’s consciousness and leaves an imprint that lasts …” El Pais, Spain “No one escapes the blow.” Publico, Spain “This ambiguous and shocking story - that has made some call for a Nobel prize - can be compared only to works such as ‘The Lord of the flies’ by Golding or ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by Sallinger. And perhaps it’s even more just to consider it an explosive and dizzying philosophical anti-thesis to ‘The Little Prince’ by Saint-Exupéry.” La Vanguardia,Spain “Janne Teller has with NOTHING written a novel that is as haunting as it’s brillant.” El Tiempo, Colombia “An extraordinary gift of art that Janne Teller has offered us, that surely will continue to crack open our doors, feelings and not least our minds.” Rolling Stone magazine, Mexico ”It’s impossible not to be moved.” Norwegian Radio (NRK), Kultur, Norway ”The book has a shocking nerve.” VG, Norway ”Janne Teller has written a gruesome, stinging contemporary saga.” Svenske Dagbladet, Sweden ”NOTHING is a fairy tale about the very essence of life.” Politiken, Denmark ”With its unusual rhythmic and tightly composed language it is an amazing work. Teasingly, grippingly and thrillingly, it describes a group of children’s desperate endeavor to prove to themselves and others that something really matters.” Information, Denmark ”You’re fascinated and can hardly let go of the book.” Berlingske Tidende, Denmark ”Janne Teller has written a novel about nothing less than the meaning of life.” The Cultural Minister, (Prize Speech) Denmark “This story is realistically possible. It’s conceivable. And this book can help change that!” Topic, Austria
