Hello i am reading the book in the title, and i noticed something fun. The way nature is depicted. It's always depicted as something that destroys or threatens the survival of the village "Eddy" lives in. I write eddy and not Edouard, because in this book it's clear that the amount of irony Edouard uses, implies that his childhood self hasn't "reached" that level yet. Therefore I think it's important to separate his two selves. Anyway, about the nature. Only three times he depicts nature as something beautiful, or rather maybe as something neutral. I think it symbolises his unique ability to change his class, which none of the other inhabitants are able to (the exception is his mother). I personally think this reading is good, but I'm curious as to what you think or if you found more depictions of nature that were positive in that book?
