WIFE OF DON GIOVANNI - Irène Némirovsky
A beautiful wife without a husband tropppo beautiful: a duel that will lead to tragedy. Portrait female, cruel and perfect story of Irène Némirovsky about life, love, and truth. The trick is to
narrative of a long letter: a letter written several days where an old maid, Clemence, a young mother reveals the secrets of her family.
The girl called Monique. She was the daughter of a Parisian woman of high society - rich, awkward, and with a gentle but restless - and a beautiful man, a kind of noble fallen without a penny of the charm that made his only wealth. His name was Henry, but his creator - Irène Némirovsky - gives the name more than anyone else can connote: Don Giovanni.
name that conjures up all night looking for a skirt, loves jumping and transient, challenge with the absolute and death in obedience to the essential nature of libertine. "He", Don Giovanni, we know him well. But "she", his female complement, never wrote any.
We thought this French-Ukrainian author, a few years rose to prominence of the Italian charts with the stunning French Suite. Irene Nemirovski - died in Auschwitz in '42 - he had perfected his wonderful French literature in a few years ago when, disguised as a peasant, had fled from Kiev to get to Paris. Many stories published here and there, a debut novel (David Golder) was surprised that his publisher for the ability of psychological penetration. Nemirovsky belonged to the world of the Jewish bourgeoisie, petted him and hated him. Above all he hated the mother figure of a woman climber and cold that will travel more than once in his writings. Many of the works of
Nemirovsky (most of which have not yet been translated) speak to the female, and reproduce an image hour benign and malignant hours - but more complex - that woman who was the same author and his unfinished attempt at dialogue with the mother.
