About the Book
La adaptación gráfica del clásico de Irène Némirovsky, ahora en formato bolsillo.
Diez años después del extraordinario éxito que supuso en todo el mundo la publicación de Suite francesa, rescatada milagrosamente del olvido, Emmanuel Moynot se adueña de la primera de las dos partes de la novela para ofrecer, con su afilada pluma, una dimensión visual de este clásico de Irène Némirovsky.
Como en una película de Renoir o Robert Altman, los personajes, sus trayectorias y sus destinos colisionan y se entrelazan en las carreteras del gran éxodo de 1940, dibujando un enorme fresco de las horas más oscuras, en las que las columnas del orden social y moral del país parecían derrumbarse.
Así, las figuras inolvidables que habitan en las páginas de Némirovsky cobran vida y nos invitan a reencontrarnos con viejos conocidos como el banquero Corbin, los amables Michaud, el clan de los Péricand, el malogrado padre Philippe, la frívola Arlette Corail, el siniestro Corte y su descerebrada amante, en suma, todo el muestrario de perdedores, atormentados, puros y víctimas de esta gran debacle francesa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Suite Française, an extraordinary novel about village life in France just as it was plunged into chaos with the German invasion of 1940, was a publishing sensation ten years ago; Irène Némirovsky completed the two-volume book, part of a planned larger series, in the early 1940s before she was arrested in France and eventually sent to Auschwitz, where she died. The notebook containing the novels was preserved by her daughters but not examined until 1998; it was finally published in France in 2004 and became a huge international bestseller, including in the US, where it has sold over one million copies.
This dramatic and stirring graphic novel, translated from the French and faithful to the spirit of Némirovsky's story, focuses on Book 1, entitled "Storm in June," in which a disparate group of Paris citizens flees the city ahead of the advancing German troops. However, their orderly plans to escape are eclipsed by the chaos spreading across the country, and their sense of civility and well-being is replaced by a raw desire to survive.
A feature film version of Suite Française, starring Michelle Williams, Kristen Scott Thomas, and Margot Robbie, was recently released.
