The Life of Irene Nemirovsky

1903-1942

By: Olivier Philipponnat,Patrick Lienhardt

The first major biography of the author of Suite Française The posthumous publication of Suite Française won Irène Némirovsky international acclaim and brought millions of readers to her work. But the story of her own life was no less dramatic and moving than her most powerful fiction. With her family, she escaped Russia in 1919 and settled in Paris, where she met and married fellow Jewish émigré Michel Epstein. In 1929 she published her highly acclaimed and controversial novel David Golder, the first of many successful books that established her stellar reputation. But when France fell to the Nazis, her renown did her little good: without French citizenship, she was forced to seek refuge in a small Burgundy village with her husband and their two young daughters. And in July 1942 Némirovsky was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died the following month. Drawing on Némirovsky’s diaries, previously untapped archival material, and interviews, her biographers give us at once an intimate picture of her life and turbulent times and an illuminating examination of the ways in which she used the details of her remarkable life to create “some of the greatest, most humane, and incisive fiction [World War II] has produced” (The New York Times Book Review).

Lucien Hervé

Building Images

By: Olivier Beer

Lucien Hervé (b. 1910), one of the great architectural photographers of the twentieth century, collaborated with Le Corbusier from 1949 until the renowned architect died in 1965. Hervé approached his subjects seeking not only to document the buildings he was commissioned to photograph but also, especially, to convey a sense of space, texture, and structure. Through light and shadow, Hervé defined the dialogue between substance and form. By delineating a strong contrast between light and shadow as well as placing emphasis on building details, the photographer was able to communicate the depth of a room, the surface of a wall, or the strength of a building's framework. For too long, Hervé the master of architectural photography has eclipsed Hervé the photographer whose career began as early as 1938 and whose subject matter varied widely. Featuring more than one hundred of his photographs in every genre, this book celebrates Hervé's work as an artist, creating images that serve not simply as records but stand as works of a singular imagination.

C’était l’année de Retour vers le futur et de Rocky IV. L’année de We Are the World, Take On Me et L’Aziza. En 1985, Thomas Strang avait onze ans. La vie commençait. Il ne s’en est jamais remis. Que s’est-il passé, cette année-là, pour que, devenu adulte, il soit capable de claquer une fortune dans un jouet qu’il a eu gamin ? Un jour, il dégote un jouet dangereux, qui suscite les convoitises. Un jouet soi-disant magique, qui serait capable de vous ramener en enfance. Et si c’était vrai ? S’il était donné à Tom de revisiter ces glorieuses eighties de son point de vue d’adulte ?

John Lee Hooker

Boogie-Woogie Anyhow

By: Olivier RENAULT

De John Lee Hooker, on connaît surtout la légende : l'enfant qui a grandi dans les champs de coton du Delta, le fugueur hobo de 14 ans, le guitariste improbable qui ne pouvait jouer qu'en solo. Ou sa carrière contrastée, faite de succès fulgurants – comme « Boogie Chillen' », « Boom Boom » ou « I'm In The Mood » – et de périodes d'oubli relatif. S'il a su, au fil des entretiens livrés dans sa vie, construire son propre mythe, Hooker a aussi laissé les commentateurs donner libre cours à leur fantaisie. Comment s'y retrouver ? Démystifiant ce qui doit l'être, ce livre s'attache à éclairer la vie nébuleuse de ce grand bluesman, à débusquer ses stratagèmes et ses sauts de côté. Car John Lee Hooker est un personnage faussement simple, irrégulier, à la fois rusé comme Ulysse, envoûtant comme Orphée, changeant comme un Protée des temps modernes qui s'adapte aux lois du marché tout en restant éminemment singulier. Malgré le brouillard de sa légende, une chose ne trompe pas : on reconnaît dans la seconde un riff de Hooker. Olivier Renault est né en 1964. Libraire à Paris, il a publié des livres sur l’histoire de Montparnasse et Montmartre, sur les peintres Bonnard et Soutine et sur l’écrivain Blaise Cendrars.
