«Théorème» is the novel by Pier Paolo Pasolini, published by Gallimard in paperback (188 pages, in French).
A young man bursts into a bourgeois Milanese family; his visit transforms each member. The maid, the son, the mother, the daughter and the father experience an encounter of grace and physical possession. After his departure, only the maid retains the sacred in the face of bourgeois morality. Written alongside the film of the same name, it is a tale that works as a parable.
Originally published in 1968 under the title Teorema, this edition from the Folio collection is translated into French by José Guidi.
For readers of twentieth-century European literature and for those interested in Pasolini's cinema.
Pier Paolo Pasolini was an Italian poet, writer, film director, actor and playwright. He is considered one of the defining public intellectuals in 20th-century Italian history, influential both as an artist and a political figure. He is known for directing The Gospel According to St. Matthew, the films from Trilogy of Life and Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom.
