Descrição do Produto

''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.
