Qu'est-ce qui peut attirer la belle et sage Thérèse vers Bernard, ce rebelle un peu voyou, qui s'engage à dix-huit ans dès que la guerre éclate ? A son retour, en 1918, avide de vivre cette jeunesse qui lui a échappé, il prend goût à l'argent facile. De cette passion ne peuvent naître que déceptions et souffrances. Mais ils s'aiment et, lorsque Bernard, prisonnier pendant la Seconde Guerre, est libéré, Thérèse est là, qui l'attend. Parue en 1948, six ans après la disparition d'Irène Némirovsky - couronnée à titre posthume par le prix Renaudot 2004 pour Suite française- , cette fresque romanesque, habitée par le climat fiévreux et délétère de l'entre-deux-guerres, est tout autant une peinture cruelle de la bourgeoisie conventionnelle et hypocrite que le portrait plus intime d'êtres en quête d'une impossible liberté.

Paperback. Condition: Good. This panoramic exploration of French life between the wars reads like a prequel to Ir ne N mirovsky's international bestseller Suite Fran aise. At the end of the First World War, Bernard Jacquelain returns from the trenches a changed man. Broken by the unspeakable horrors he has witnessed, he becomes addicted to the lure of wealth and success. He wallows in the corruption and excess of post-war Paris, but when his lover abandons him, Bernard turns to a childhood friend for comfort. For ten years, he lives the good bourgeois life, but when the drums of war begin to sound again, everything around which he has rebuilt himself starts to crumble, and the future--of his marriage and of his country--suddenly becomes terribly uncertain. Written after N mirovsky fled Paris in 1940, just two years before her death, and first published in France in 1957, The Fires of Autumn is a coruscating, tragic novel of war and its aftermath, and of the ugly color it can turn a man's soul.

Thérèse, una mujer hermosa y sabia, se siente atraída por Bernard, un rebelde que se alista como voluntario en la Primera Guerra Mundial. A su regreso, Bernard busca vivir la juventud que le fue arrebatada, dejándose seducir por el dinero fácil, lo que inevitablemente conduce a decepciones y sufrimiento. A pesar de todo, su amor persiste, y cuando Bernard es liberado de su prisión durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Thérèse lo espera. Esta novela, publicada póstumamente en 1948, es una reflexión sobre la burguesía convencional e hipócrita, así como un retrato íntimo de seres en busca de una libertad esquiva.
