Podzimní mouchy aneb Žena z dávných dob


V nepříliš rozsáhlém, čechovovsky laděném románu Podzimní mouchy aneb Žena z dávných dob autorka vykresluje úpadek ruské rodiny, které se ve vřavě revoluce zhroutí svět. Karinovi prchající před bolševiky se uchýlí do Francie a v rodinném sídle ponechají jen věrnou chůvu Taťánu Ivanovnu. Nakonec se i ona vydává v jejich stopách a opouští domov, který bolševický režim nadobro zničil. Irene Némirovsky vypráví s citem a bez přehnaného patosu příběh o lidech, kteří zažívají konec jedné éry a bolest ze ztráty domova i těch, které tolik milovali. Chůva, žena z dávných dob, je ochránkyní vzpomínek na Rusko. Vzpomínek, které v emigraci slábnou a rozpouští se ve starostech o živobytí. S její smrtí odchází i starý svět. Ačkoliv se z hrdinů ve chvílích beznaděje stávají malátné a unavené „podzimní mouchy, které […] vyčerpaně a podráž­děně poletují, narážejí do oken a táhnou za sebou polomrtvá křídla“, nakonec i oni docházejí k trpkému smíření s novou každodenností. Rozsah knihy připomíná, že silného účinku lze dosáhnout i nemnoha slovy. Jediné, co se dá totiž románu vytknout, je, že ho přečtete tak rychle. Nejspíš na jeden zátah.

Suite ?française – Francia szvit


1940 júliusa: a megszálló Wehrmacht csapatai elől menekülnek a franciák. Milliók lepik el az országutakat, szállják meg a vidéki városokat, a falvakat. Az összeomlás teljes: állam, egyház, társadalmi és emberi értékek – minden összekuszálódik. Együtt menekül a túlélésért nagypolgár, művész, „úri” prostituált táncosnő, munkáscsalád, cseléd, aggok és kisgyerekek, sőt a házimacska… A tragikus történelmi helyzetben a hétköznapok emberi drámái és kicsinyességei mellett a hősiesség és az önfeláldozás megrázó képsorai vonulnak el a szemünk előtt.Az egy évvel később, 1941-ben játszódó második rész egy idilli kisváros németek megszállta világába vezet minket. Hogyan éltek együtt a francia falusiak a német katonákkal? Hogyan is működött a kollaboráció, és kezdődött valami halvány ellenállás? Lehetségesek-e emberi kapcsolatok az ellenséges nemzetek között? Beleszerethet-e egy francia nő a nála elszállásolt német tisztbe?

Suite Francaise


In 1941, Irene Némirovsky sat down to write a book that would convey the magnitude of what she was living through by evoking the domestic lives and personal trials of the ordinary citizens of France. Némirovsky's death in Auschwitz in 1942 prevented her from seeing the day, sixty-five years later, that the existing two sections of her planned novel sequence, Suite Française, would be rediscovered and hailed as a masterpiece. Set during the year that France fell to the Nazis, Suite Française falls into two parts. The first is a brilliant depiction of a group of Parisians as they flee the Nazi invasion; the second follows the inhabitants of a small rural community under occupation. Suite Française is a novel that teems with wonderful characters struggling with the new regime. However, amidst the mess of defeat, and all the hypocrisy and compromise, there is hope. True nobility and love exist, but often in surprising places. VINTAGE FRENCH CLASSICS - six masterpieces of French fiction in collectable editions.

All our worldly goods


Pierre and Agnès marry for love against the wishes of his parents and the family patriarch, the tyrannical industrialist Julien Hardelot, provoking a family feud which cascades down the generations. This is Balzac or The Forsyte Saga on a smaller, more intimate scale, the bourgeoisie observed close-up with Némirovsky’s characteristically sly humour and clear-eyed compassion. Full of drama and heartbreak, telling observation of the devastating effects of two wars on a small town and an industrial family, this is Némirovsky at the height of her powers. The exodus and flow of refugee humanity through the town in both wars foreshadows Suite Française, but differently, because this is Northern France, near the Somme, and the town itself is twice razed. Taut, evocative and beautifully paced, the novel points up with heartbreaking detail and clarity how close were those two wars, how history repeated itself, tragically, shockingly... It opens in the Edwardian era, on a fashionable Normandy beach, and ends with a changed world, under Nazi occupation.

All Our Worldly Goods


In haunting ways this wonderful, compelling novel prefigures Suite Francaise and some of the themes of Nemirovsky's great unfinished sequence of novels. "All Our Worldly Goods", though, is complete, and exquisitely so - a perfect novel in its own right. First published in France in 1947, after the author's death, it is a gripping story of family life and starcrossed lovers, of money and greed, set against the backdrop of France from 1911 to 1940 between two terrible wars. Pierre and Agnes marry for love against the wishes of his parents and the family patriarch, the tyrannical industrialist Julien Hardelot, provoking a family feud which cascades down the generations.This is "Balzac" or "The Forsyte Saga" on a smaller, more intimate scale, the bourgeoisie observed close-up with Nemirovsky's characteristically sly humour and clear-eyed compassion. Full of drama and heartbreak, telling observation of the devastating effects of two wars on a small town and an industrial family, this is Nemirovsky at the height of her powers.

Lacná kniha Suite Francaise (-90%)


In 1941, Irene Nemirovsky sat down to write a book that would convey the magnitude of what she was living through, not in terms of battles and politicians, but by evoking the domestic lives and personal trials of the ordinary citizens of France. She did not live to see her ambition fulfilled, or to know that sixty-five years later, Suite Francaise would be published for the first time, and hailed as a masterpiece Set during a year that begins with France's fall to the Nazis in June 1940 and ends with Germany turning its attention to Russia, Suite Francaise falls into two parts. The first is a brilliant depiction of a group of Parisians as they flee the Nazi invasion and make their way through the chaos of France; the second follows the inhabitants of a small rural community under occupation who find themselves thrown together in ways they never expected. Nemirovsky's brilliance as a writer lay in her portrayal of people, and this is a novel that teems with wonderful characters, each more vivid than the next. Haughty aristocrats, bourgeois bankers and snobbish aesthetes rub shoulders with uncouth workers and bolshy farmers. Women variously resist or succumb to the charms of German soldiers. However, amidst the mess of defeat, and all the hypocrisy and compromise, there is hope. True nobility and love exist, but often in surprising places. Irene Nemirovsky conceived of Suite Francaise as a four- or five-part novel. It was to be a symphony - her War and Peace. Although only two sections were finished before her tragic death, they form a book that is beautifully complete in itself, and awe-inspiring in its understanding of humanity.
