Representaion Concering Books I doni della vita

Pierre Hardelot, erede delle omonime cartiere, ha una fidanzata rosea e grassoccia che la famiglia ha scelto per lui, ma è innamorato di un’altra: una che non gli consentiranno mai di sposare, perché appartiene alla piccola borghesia, e non ha dote. Eppure, alla vigilia del matrimonio, Pierre decide di infrangere quella invisibile ma solida barriera «fatta di buon sangue, di carni robuste e sane e di risparmi investiti in titoli di Stato, una barriera destinata a proteggere per sempre i giovani dalle insidie della sorte e dalle loro stesse passioni», e la legge non scritta per la quale di generazione in generazione accoppiamenti giudiziosi stringono sempre di più i legami tra le poche famiglie che contano della ricca borghesia di provincia – e sposa la donna che ama. Comincia così «il grande romanzo classico» di Irène Némirovsky: trenta capitoli in cui, attraverso la storia degli Hardelot, si percorrono trent’anni di storia francese, da quelli che precedettero la prima guerra mondiale a quelli che vedono (nel momento stesso in cui Irène racconta gli eventi mentre stanno accadendo) l’occupazione della Francia da parte dei tedeschi. E qui – nelle pagine conclusive del romanzo, allorché si compiono i destini dei personaggi che ha seguito con il suo sguardo affettuoso e ironico – Irène Némirovsky ci stupisce ancora una volta, dimostrando (esattamente come in Suite francese, la cui stesura portava avanti in parallelo, e di cui I doni della vita si può considerare una sorta di prova generale) una lucidità quasi profetica su quelli che saranno i destini dell’umanità tutta.

Assessment Of Books I doni della vita

Having recently read The Mirador, I have to say that Elisabeth Gille, Nemirovsky's daughter, was the better writer of the two. I just don't get the popularity of Irene's fiction. I didn't like Suite Francaise, and I like this one even less. The writing is so dry and stiff. Maybe it's just the translation, but there's no real feeling conveyed by the words on the page. The story felt totally flat to me. I did enjoy Fire in the Blood, her very short work about France between the two world wars, so

This book picks up where Jane Austen leaves off. She does it with her own characters and they are French. Our misclassed lovers have their happy beginning when the factory owner's son decides to ditch the fiancee his parents chose for her dowry and to please the patriarch for the merchant's daughter. They accept their exile and his disinheritance and live happily ever after meeting head on all sorts of difficulties through the early part of the 20th century.Nemirovsky has an eloquent way of

It's difficult to separate the novel All Our Worldly Goods from the true story of what happened to Irene Nemirovsky. This book is haunting, in large part because I could feel the ghost of the author, looking over my shoulder, begging me to understand.I've read several reviews of this book and it seems that many people felt unsatisfied because they weren't sure how they were supposed to feel, or what lessons they were supposed to take from the story. For me, that was the power of this book. I

Anyone who enjoyed Irene Nemirovsky's Suite Française will surely love All Our Worldly Goods just as much. In both books Nemirovsky's writing is incredibly beautiful and gracefully poignant. Though the original French must be even better, these translations by Sandra Smith are wonderful.Nemirovsky was killed at Auschwitz before she could finish Suite Française, but All Our Worldly Goods is a complete novel. It's set in France from 1911, just before the start of WWI, to 1940, shortly after the

If you can believe it, this surpasses Suite Francais, in my opinion. It is a complete novel, unlike SF, which was never finished, and it is beautifully crafted and written. It follows a small village in France, a couple and two interconnected families from just prior to WWI through to the commencement of WWII, and provides deep insight into the minds, mores and lifestyles of the French bourgouise class at that time. It is a scathing condemnation of the French upper/middle class in many ways,

This is much more precise and concise than Suite Francaise. It made me wonder whether Nemirovsky intended to go back and edit the first two parts of Suite Francaise but never got the chance.

in lucid and elegant prose that is at once both panoramic and intimate this short work details, through the affairs of one family, the devastation of war.I expect I will write a better review when I have stopped crying
