"The Elegance of the Hedgehog," a novel by French novelist and philosopher Muriel Barbery, has sold more than a million copies in France and hundreds of thousands worldwide - and made the author famous. This book has been compared to Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes and Jean-Pierre Genet's romantic comedy Amélie, but in fact it is certainly unique. A twelve-year-old girl, intelligent and educated beyond her years, is finally disillusioned with humanity. The elderly concierge secretly studies philosophy, reads Leo Tolstoy, watches Japanese art-house movies and listens to Mahler, carefully hiding her intelligence from everyone. A wealthy Japanese man, now settled in Paris, tries to unravel the secret of these secretive women. Unlikely friendships, unexplored opportunities, a new way of looking at the world; three people are about to embark on a quiet journey that will change their lives and teach them - and us - to notice the unexpected where we are all used to seeing only the stereotypical and predictable.
