   3,2(148)Ohodnotiť

   Modiano's debut novel is a sardonic, often grotesque satire of France during the Nazi occupation. We are immediately plunged into the hallucinatory imagination of Raphael Schlemilovitch, a young Jewish man, torn between self-aggrandisement and self-loathing, who may be the heir to a Venezuelan fortune, may have lived during the Nazi Occupation, may have rubbed shoulders with the most notorious collaborators and anti-Semites of the time, may even have been the lover of Eva Braun...or he may have been none of these things. But at the centre of this vortex is 'La Place de l'Etoile' - the Place of the Star - which is both the geographical and moral centre of Paris, and that place next the heart where French Jews were compelled to wear the yellow star, the symbol of their persecution.

   The Night Watch

   • Patrick Modiano

   3,4(447)Ohodnotiť

   When Patrick Modiano was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize for LIterature he was praised for using the 'art of memory' to bring to life the Occupation of Paris during the Second World War. The Night Watch is his second novel and tells the story of a young man of limited means, caught between his work for the French Gestapo informing on the Resistance, and his work for a Resistance cell informing on the police and the black market dealers whose seedy milieu of nightclubs, prostitutes and spivs he shares. Under pressure from both sides to inform and bring things to a crisis, he finds himself driven towards an act of self-sacrifice as the only way to escape an impossible situation and the question that haunts him - how to be a traitor without being a traitor. In this astonishing, cruel and tender book, Modiano attempts to exorcise the past by leading his characters out on a fantasmagoric patrol during one fatal night of the Occupation.

   Okružné bulváre je posledný román Modiana z okupačnej trilógie, v ktorej autor novátorsky zobrazuje každodennú realitu rokov 1940-45 a jej dopad na povojnové Francúzsko, ktoré sa vyrovnávalo s kolaborantmi a nacistami. Modiano ako prvý otvorene písal o týchto chúlostivých témach. Rozprávač sleduje skupinu troch vojnových profitérov, pravdepodobne operujúcich pod gestapom. Medzi nimi sú vydavateľ kolaborantských novín Muraille, záhadný gróf a vyslúžilý legionár Marcheret, a tiež jeho otec, pred vojnou úspešný obchodník, teraz poradca a účtovník pri ich temných obchodných operáciách. Otec, Chalva Decquecaire, má nejasnú identitu a jeho syn je nútený skrývať svoj židovský pôvod. Rozprávač sa vracia do detstva, kedy mu otec asistoval pri neúspešných obchodných transakciách a sníval o lepšej budúcnosti. V období 1942-44 ho otec už nespoznáva, až kým sa rozprávač rozhodne zavraždiť jedného z protagonistov protižidovskej kampane. Spoločne utekajú nočným Parížom, kde im hrozí zatknutie a smrť. Záver naznačuje, že aspoň jeden z nich prežil.

  'Brisk, smart, witty, elliptical ... Recalls the directors of the New Wave ... Bracing and brilliant'Independent When Patrick Modiano was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature he was praised for using the 'art of memory' to bring to life the Occupation of Paris during the Second World War. Born in 1945, Modiano's brilliant, angry writings burst onto the Parisian literary scene and caused a storm. His first, ferociously satirical novel, La Place de l'Étoile, was remarkable in seriously questioning both Nazi collaboration in France and the myths of the Gaullist era. The Night Watch tells the story of a man caught between his work for the French Gestapo and for a Resistance cell. Ring Roads recounts a son's search for his Jewish father, who disappeared ten years previously. These brilliant, almost hallucinatory, evocations of the Occupation attempt to exorcise the past by exploring the morally ambiguous worlds of collaboration and resistance.

  Este volumen reúne las tres primeras novelas de un autor fundamental de las letras francesas contemporáneas. Tres novelas que recibieron numerosos galardones –entre ellos el Gran Premio de la Academia Francesa– y que representan el primer y más brillante bisturí novelístico de la turbiedad, la complicidad social y la fantasmagoría, del antisemitismo, el crimen organizado y la fiesta de algunos en este negro período del siglo XX francés. Concretamente del París ocupado, su gestación y consecuencias. Entre el delirio, el sueño y la falsificación desfilan todos los fantasmas de la época. Entre ellos, el padre –ese eterno modianesco–, una banda criminal que gira en su provecho la amenaza del enemigo y la locura ideo­lógica –retrato del soporte intelectual de aquellos años– de un judío antisemita. Y todo ello contado, en palabras de José Carlos Llop, prologuista a esta edición, «como si Scott Fitzgerald y Dostoievski salieran de correría nocturna y en vez de bares hubieran visitado varios círculos del infierno con un espíritu entre la frescura fitzgeraldiana y el fatalismo nihilista del ruso, mezclado con cierta atmósfera a lo Simenon». Un libro absolutamente imprescindible.

  When Patrick Modiano was awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize for Literature he was praised for using the 'art of memory' to bring to life the Occupation of Paris during the Second World War. Born just after the war, Modiano was an angry young man in his twenties when these three brilliant, angry novels burst onto the Parisian literary scene and caused a storm.The epigraph to his ambitious first novel, among the first to seriously question both wartime collaboration in France and the myths of the Gaullist era, reads: 'In June 1942 a German officer goes up to a young man and says: 'Excuse me, monsieur, where is La Place de l'�toile?' The young man points to the star on his chest.' The Night Watch tells the story of a young man, caught between his work for the French Gestapo, his work for a Resistance cell informing on the police and the black market dealers whose seedy milieu he shares. Ring Roads recounts Serge's search for his father, who disappeared from his life ten years earlier. He finds him trying to survive the war years in the unlikely company of spivs, anti-Semites and prostitutes, putting his meagre business skills at the service of those who have no interest in him or his survival. These brilliant, almost hallucinatory evocations of the Occupation, attempt to exorcise the past by exploring the morally ambiguous worlds of collaboration and resistance.
