Amélie Nothomb’s The Combustibles is a short, striking play set in a war-torn society where bitter cold and hunger force the characters to burn books to stay alive. In this tense, confined space, the true value of literature is questioned: what becomes of culture when survival is at stake? With dark humor and razor-sharp dialogue, Nothomb examines human vulnerability, intellectual snobbery, and the painful boundary between necessity and barbarism.
