Описание: Missing a young girl, Dora Bruder, 15, height 1.55m, oval-shaped face, grey-brown eyes, grey sports jacket, maroon pullover, navy blue skirt and hat, brown gym shoes. All information to M. and Mme Bruder, 41 Boulevard Ornano, Paris." The author chanced upon this notice in a December 1941 issue of Paris Soir. The girl has vanished from the convent school which had taken her in during the Occupation. She had apparently run away on a bitterly cold night at a time of especially violent German reprisals. Moved by her fate, the author sets out to find all he can about her. Eventually he discovers her name in a list of Jews deported to Auschwitz in September 1942 and what further fragments he is able to uncover about the Bruder family become a meditation on the immense losses of the period - people lost, stories lost, human history lost. Modiano delivers a moving survey of a decade-long investigation that revived for him the sights, sounds and sorrowful rhythms of occupied Paris. And in seeking to exhume Dora Bruder's fate, he in turn faces, and must come to terms with, his own family history.

Описание: J'écris ces pages comme on rédige un constat ou un curriculum vitae, à titre documentaire et sans doute pour en finir avec une vie qui n'était pas la mienne.Les événements que j'évoquerai jusqu'à ma vingt et unième année, je les ai vécus en transparence - ce procédé qui consiste à faire défiler en arrière-plan des paysages, alors que les acteurs restent immobiles sur un plateau de studio. Je voudrais traduire cette impression que beaucoup d'autres ont ressentie avant moi: tout défilait en transparence et je ne pouvais pas encore vivre ma vie.

Описание: Qui pousse un certain Guy Roland, employé d'une agence de police privée que dirige un baron balte, à partir à la recherche d'un inconnu, disparu depuis longtemps? Le besoin de se retrouver lui-même après des années d'amnésie? Au cours de sa recherche, il recueille des bribes de la vie de cet homme qui était peut-être lui et à qui, de toute façon, il finit par s'identifier. Comme dans un dernier tour de manège, passent les témoins de la jeunesse de ce Pedro Mc Evoy, les seuls qui pourraient le reconnaître: Hélène Coudreuse, Fredy Howard de Luz, Gay Orlow, Dédé Wildmer, Scouffi, Rubirosa, Sonachitzé, d'autres encore, aux noms et aux passeports compliqués, qui font que ce livre pourrait être l'intrusion des âmes errantes dans le roman policier.

Описание: An accident, a vanishing, a memory gap, a strange dream: a classic noir work of fiction by Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano

This uneasy, compelling novel begins with a nighttime accident on the streets of Paris. The unnamed narrator, a teenage boy, is hit by a car whose driver he vaguely recalls having met before. The mysterious ensuing events, involving a police van, a dose of ether, awakening in a strange hospital, and the disappearance of the woman driver, culminate in a packet being pressed into the boy's hand. It is an envelope stuffed full of bank notes. The confusion only deepens as the characters grow increasingly apprehensive; meanwhile, readers are held spellbound.

Modiano's low-key writing style, his preoccupation with memory and its untrustworthiness, and his deep concern with timeless moral questions have earned him an international audience of devoted readers. This beautifully rendered translation brings another of his finest works to an eagerly waiting English-language audience. Paris Nocturne has been named "a perfect book" by Lib ration, while L'Express observes, "Paris Nocturne is cloaked in darkness, but it is a novel that is turned toward the light."

Описание: 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'Etoile?' 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.

Описание: "Modiano is an ideal writer to gorge on . . . A moody, delectable noir." -- The New Yorker

"The best kind of mystery, the kind that never stops haunting you." -- Entertainment Weekly

"A work of melancholic beauty . . . Sincere, shattering, magnificent." -- L'Express

In the stillness of his Paris apartment, Jean Daragane has built a life of total solitude. Then a surprising phone call shatters the silence of an unusually hot September, and the threatening voice on the other end of the line leaves Daragane wary but irresistibly curious. Almost at once, he finds himself entangled with a shady gambler and a beautiful, fragile young woman, who draw Daragane into the mystery of a decades-old murder. The investigation will force him to confront the memory of a trauma he had all but buried. This masterly novel penetrates the deepest enigmas of identity and compels us to ask whether we ever know who we truly are.

"Moody . . . Lyrical . . . A pleasure." -- Kirkus Reviews

"A writer unlike any other and a worthy recipient of the Nobel." -- Wall Street Journal
