Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano's first three novels, about Paris under Nazi occupation, now in a single volume; the earliest--La Place de l'Étoile--in English for the first time. Born at the close of World War II, 2014 Nobel Prize winner Patrick Modiano was a young man in his twenties when he burst onto the Parisian literary scene with these three brilliant, angry novels about the wartime Occupation of Paris. The epigraph to his first novel, among the first to seriously question Nazi collaboration in France, reads: "In June 1942 a German officer goes up to a young man and says: 'Excuse me, monsieur, where is La Place de l'Étoile?' The young man points to the star on his chest." The second novel, The Night Watch, tells the story of a young man caught between his work for the French Gestapo, his work for a Resistance cell, and the black marketeers whose milieu he shares. Ring Roads recounts a son's search for his Jewish father who disappeared ten years earlier, whom he finds trying to weather the war in service to unsavory characters. Together these three brilliant, almost hallucinatory evocations of the Occupation attempt to exorcise the past by exploring the morally ambiguous worlds of collaboration and resistance. Award-winning translator Frank Wynne has revised the translations of The Night Watch and Ring Roads--long out of print--for our current day, and brings La Place de l'Étoile into English for the first time. The Occupation Trilogy provides the perfect introduction to one of the world's greatest writers.
Book Synopsis La Place de l'Étoile by : Patrick Modiano
Download or read book La Place de l'Étoile written by Patrick Modiano and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modiano's debut novel is a sardonic, often grotesque satire of France during the Nazi occupation. We are immediately plunged into the hallucinatory imagination of Raphaël Schlemilovitch, a young Jewish man, torn between self-aggrandisement and self-loathing, who may be the heir to a Venezuelan fortune, may have lived during the Nazi Occupation, may have rubbed shoulders with the most notorious collaborators and anti-Semites of the time, may even have been the lover of Eva Braun . . . or he may have been none of these things. But at the centre of this vortex is 'La Place de l'Étoile'--the Place of the Star--which is both the geographical and moral centre of Paris, and that place next the heart where French Jews were compelled to wear the yellow star, the symbol of their persecution.
Book Synopsis La Place de l'Etoile ... by : Patrick Modiano
Download or read book La Place de l'Etoile ... written by Patrick Modiano and published by Editions Gallimard. This book was released on 1968 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En exergue de cet étonnant récit, une histoire juive : "Au mois de juin 1942, un officier allemand s'avance vers un jeune homme et lui dit : "Pardon, monsieur, où se trouve la place de l'Étoile ?" Le jeune homme désigne le côté gauche de sa poitrine." Voici, annoncé en quelques lignes, ce qui anime le roman : l'inguérissable blessure raciale. Le narrateur, Raphaël Schlemilovitch, est un héros hallucinatoire. À travers lui, en trajets délirants, mille existences qui pourraient être les siennes passent et repassent dans une émouvante fantasmagorie. Mille identités contradictoires le soumettent au mouvement de la folie verbale où le Juif est tantôt roi, tantôt martyr et où la tragédie la plus douloureuse se dissimule sous la bouffonnerie. Ainsi voyons-nous défiler des personnages réels ou fictifs : Maurice Sachs et Otto Abetz, Lévy-Vendôme et le docteur Louis-Ferdinand Bardamu, Brasillach et Drieu la Rochelle, Marcel Proust et les tueurs de la Gestapo française, le capitaine Dreyfus et les amiraux pétainistes, Freud, Rebecca, Hitler, Eva Braun et tant d'autres, comparables à des figures de carrousels tournant follement dans l'espace et le temps. Mais la place de l'Étoile, le livre refermé, s'inscrit au centre exact de la "capitale de la douleur"."--Back cover.
Book Synopsis The Night Watch by : Patrick Modiano
Download or read book The Night Watch written by Patrick Modiano and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The Night Watch is his second novel and tells the story of a young man of limited means, caught between his work for the French Gestapo informing on the Resistance, and his work for a Resistance cell informing on the police and the black market dealers whose seedy milieu of nightclubs, prostitutes and spivs he shares. Under pressure from both sides to inform and bring things to a crisis, he finds himself driven towards an act of self-sacrifice as the only way to escape an impossible situation and the question that haunts him – how to be a traitor without being a traitor. In this astonishing, cruel and tender book, Modiano attempts to exorcise the past by leading his characters out on a fantasmagoric patrol during one fatal night of the Occupation.

Book Synopsis Translating Memories of Violent Pasts by : Claudia Jünke
Download or read book Translating Memories of Violent Pasts written by Claudia Jünke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together work from Memory Studies and Translation Studies to explore the role of interlingual and intercultural translation for unpacking transcultural memory dynamics, focusing on memories of violent pasts across different literary genres. The book explores the potential of a research agenda that links narrower definitions of translation with broader notions of transfer, transmission, and relocation across temporal and cultural borders, investigating the nuanced theoretical and conceptual dimensions at the intersection of memory and translation. The volume explores memories of violent pasts – legacies of war, genocide, dictatorship, and exile across different genres and media, including testimony, autobiography, novels, and graphic novels. The collection engages in central questions at the interface of Memory Studies and Translation Studies, including whether traumatic historical experiences that resist representation can be translated, what happens when texts that negotiate such memories are translated into other languages and cultures, and what role translation strategies, translators, and agents of translations play in memory across borders. The volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in Translation Studies, Memory Studies, and Comparative Literature.

This book was released on 2023-04-08 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans la conjoncture des choses observables sur l'état de la relation entre les diverses catégories ou entités sociales et internationales qui fondent les sociétés et les nations, il n'est de place, et il n'en a presque jamais eu dans toute l'Histoire, pour aucun discours, aucune pensée qui ne s'articule pas autour de la nécessité d'une combativité guerrière. Cet ouvrage, baptisé Poétique de la Nécessité, propose une vision qui fera taxer son auteur de bien d'épithètes désobligeantes ; on l'affublerait même de prêcher la résignation ou la lâcheté. Mais y a-t-il un seul modèle de pensée antagonique à l'ordre établi qui ait jamais réussi à reverser l'Ordre des relations ?

Download or read book Present Pasts written by Dervila Cooke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in-depth study of the twelve Modiano texts specifically concerned with life-writing in autobiographical and biographical-cum-historiographical projects. The texts covered range from La Place de l’étoile (1968) through to La Petite Bijou (2001). Close textual analysis is combined with a theoretical approach based on current thinking in autobiography, biography, and reader-response. Modiano’s use of autofiction and biofiction is analysed in the light of his continuing obsession with both personal trauma and History, as well as his problematic relationship with his paternally-inherited Jewish links. His view of identity (of self and other) is thus discussed in relation to a particular literary and socio-historical context– French, postmodern, post-World War II, and post-Holocaust.
