Nemirovsky, I: The Dogs and the Wolves

Irene Nemirovsky

Sandra Smith

A wonderful, panoramic novel and an achingly poignant love story that goes back to Irène Némirovsky's roots, from the bestselling author of Suite Française.

Ada grows up motherless in the Jewish pogroms of a Ukrainian city in the early years of the twentieth century. In the same city, Harry Sinner, the cosseted son of a city financier, belongs to a very different world. Eventually, in search of a brighter future, Ada moves to Paris and makes a living painting scenes from the world she has left behind. Harry Sinner also comes to Paris to mingle in exclusive circles, until one day he buys two paintings which remind him of his past and the course of Ada's life changes once more.

But then recession and revolutions shake previously rich regimes. As summer draws to a close, Ada's world is disintegrating, and she is faced with a fateful decision.

From the Hardcover edition.

Recenzii

"The Dogs and the Wolves is a bitter, angry book reflecting nastiness between Jews, as well as the prejudice and persecution they suffered in France between the world wars... the novel builds towards a final scene of redemptive tenderness: a piercing note of compassion and hope after all the grimness that Némirovsky has exposed with characteristic boldness."
--Ruth Scurr, The Times

"Written with tremendous assurance and finess, The Dogs and the Wolves is an outstanding achievement of European fiction."
--Peter Kemp, Sunday Times

"Nemirovsky was incapable of producing anything less than an enchanting novel. She has an irresistible talent for creating character and incident which makes this story as much a page-turner as anything she has written."
--Carmen Callil, Guardian

"A sad and beautifully written tale."
--Caroline Moorehead, Literary Review
"Written with tremendous assurance and finesse, The Dogs and the Wolves is an outstanding achievement of European fiction" Sunday Times "The pleasure of this fine novel lies in its depiction of a doomed love affair... Nemirovsky's exquisite descriptions of character reveal a brilliantly sharp eye" Daily Telegraph "Nemirovsky was incapable of producing anything less than an enchanting novel. She has an irresistible talent for creating character and incident which makes this story as much a page-turner as anything she has written" -- Carmen Callil Guardian "Nemirovksy is a deeply engaged observer of her characters, and her depiction of the inner lives of both Jews and Gentiles in Sandra Smith's admirable translation of this exquisitely detailed novel, has the fine, authentic ring of artistic truth" Sunday Telegraph "She elegantly uses traditional orchestration, which makes her works, for all their weighty concerns, universally accessible and stirringly romantic" Independent
