Nice, 1920. Un jeune m�decin affam�, Dario, accepte de pratiquer un avortement clandestin sur une flamboyante aventuri�re new-yorkaise afin de sauver de la d�ch�ance Clara, sa femme et leur nourrisson. Une solution qui permet � ce fils de marchand vagabond et m�t�que de sang grec et italien, de survivre malgr� l'indiff�rence de la client�le chic de la ville. Multipliant les exp�dients durant quelques ann�es pass�es � Nice, Dario a brusquement l'id�e de g�nie qui l'aidera � forcer son destin : d�voyant avec une intuition machiav�lique la toute nouvelle th�orie psychanalytique, il devient un charlatan � la mode, �trange ma�tre des �mes se grisant d'une ascension sociale dangereuse... Avec Le Ma�tre des �mes, roman in�dit publi� en 1939 sous forme d'�pisodes dans Gringoire, Ir�ne N�mirovsky brosse le portrait d'un de ces "immigr�s" de l'entre-deux-guerres d�barqu�s d'Europe orientale avec un br�lant r�ve de r�ussite. D�montant d'une plume cruelle et l�g�re la vaine valse des ambitions, elle ressuscite avec pr�cision le tourbillon mondain et intellectuel de l'�poque.
