Synopsis
« Rien n'est plus amer que de voir de surhumains efforts donner si peu de bonheur. Il ne reste qu'une consolation possible : se dire qu'il n'y a pas de bonheur. »
Paru pour la première fois en 1938, ce roman aux ressorts stendhaliens raconte l'ascension sociale puis la chute d'un jeune ambitieux, Jean-Luc Daguerne, dont l'amour pour sa belle le mènera à sa perte. Sur cette trame éprouvée, Irène Némirovsky fait danser les mots avec humour et se joue brillamment des passions humaines et des cruautés du sort. Mais cette Proie doit pourtant beaucoup aux années 1930, à leur énergie tragique, à tous leurs espoirs brisés. C'est cette course folle vers le gouffre qui en fait sa modernité.
On redécouvre avec plaisir l'oeuvre d'Irène Némirovsky depuis la publication posthume de Suite française en 2004. Romancière très en vue du Paris des années 1930, Irène Némirovsky, née à Kiev en 1903, morte à Auschwitz, a été arrêtée le 13 juillet 1942 par la police française.
