Paperback. Condition: New. It is the middle of the roaring twenties, and Gittel is living The Hague with her parents, whose blazing rows are the traditional preserve of Sundays and public holidays. What luck, then, that Gittel is Jewish, and must submit to "the double helping of public holidays that is the lot of Jewish families".After every matrimonial slanging match, Gittel's mother runs off to her parents' home in Antwerp - with her daugher in tow. Much to her delight, Gittel makes the acquaintance of the well-to-do Mardell family, who allow her to practise on their Steinway. Gittel feels that she is taken seriously by Mr Mardell, the head of the household, and by thirty-year-old Lucie, whom she adores. When these friendships turn out to be nothing but an illusion, Gittel learns her first lessons about trust and betrayal. Her second comes soon after, when her father, whose talents for business leave much to be desired, attempts to make a quick killing in Berlin on the eve of the Wall Street Crash.Though this intimate portrayal of familial strife is set in the shadow of the Holocaust, Simons says little about the horror that awaits her characters, yet she succeeds in giving the reader the sense that the novel is about more than a young girl's loss of innocence. In a fluid, almost casual style, she has written a masterly and timeless ode to a relatively carefree interlude in a dark and dramatic period.Translated from the Dutch by Liz Waters.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. El redescubrimiento de un gran clásico. «La pianista holandesa Ido Rosenheimer sobrevivió al campo de concentración de Theresienstadt y escribió la brillante novela Una virgen imprudente como Ida Simons. Olvidada injustamente, ha sido ahora redescubierta. Un estilo sofisticado que uno no esperaría de un debut. Una novela magnífica. » Volkskrant Una virgen imprudente es el retrato íntimo, delicado y lleno de frescura e ironía de Gittel, una niña judía de doce años que descubre la vida en los albores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En los años veinte, en los salones y las calles de Amberes nadie puede prever la catástrofe. La comunidad judía es un pequeño universo en el que Gittel, amante del piano y la música, se mueve con curiosidad y determinación. A su alrededor gira un exuberante cosmos: una madre colérica que huye de su marido en cuanto tienen un problema; un padre que se sabe un fracasado; unas abuelas enfrentadas que deciden firmar temporalmente un armisticio; un banquero adinerado que le abre las puertas de su casa y las de un mundo nuevo; una baronesa extravagante que se adorna con plumas de avestruz, y, sobre todo, su amiga Lucie, gracias a la que descubrirá lo que es la traición. En ese mundo de impostores, Gittel no puede dejar de preguntarse en quién puede confiar. Críticas: «Encontrado: el Stoner holandés. Un debut entre Franz Kafka y John Cheever. Un libro que no se puede dejar de leer. » De Standaard «Reorganicé el plan de las reseñas. Pensé que este libro tenía que estar en nuestro periódico lo antes posible, de la manera más grandiosa y entusiasta. Es algo que todo el mundo debería leer. » NRC Handelsblad «La Jane Austen de Amberes de los años veinte. Una virgen imprudente sigue siendo encantadora después de medio siglo. El lenguaje es fresco, sobrio y lleno de humor. » Trouw «Una novela extraordinaria escrita con una prosa musical. Es incomprensible que este libro no haya sido leído en tantos años. » NRC Handelsblad «El equivalente holandés de Stoner. Esta novela es intemporal. Esta novela me recuerda a los clásicos de la literatura inglesa del siglo XVIII. » De Morgen «Gittel nos recuerda a Ana Frank. » Nederlands Dagblad «Este libro tiene una historia especial en más de un sentido. Una novela extraordinaria que ha sido aclamada por todos con razón. » Tros Nieuwsshow *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
