Funeral Ceremony

Jean Genet, who said, "To act nobly, a person must dream for a long time and dreams are nourished in the bosom of the night", in this novel he looks at war as a universal human condition and human relations in Paris during the occupation period. focuses.
People exceed the limits of politics, idealism and ethics in war, just as in love; In other words, all is fair in love and war. Here is The Funeral, a fantastic but also serious novel that tells about the similarities and differences between people, the governments that sent them to their deaths, and the personal conflicts that were tried to be resolved in the battlefields, in those days when everything was experienced at the extreme.
In this novel, Jean Genet is the narrator. There is itself; There is her lover Jean, who died in a street battle while resisting the German occupation; Her lover has a brother who was a German collaborator and Hitler's lover; There is Jean's mother, who hides a German officer in her house, and in whose person Genet slams the middle class. In this book, there is love and betrayal, with all its beauty and ugliness, all its nakedness and violence.
"The crimes of which a people are ashamed constitute its true history. The same is true for people," said Jean Genet, always a good shelter in the face of death and uncertainty. By using a lot of old humor, it tells what happens to people in war and love.
