About this title

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 premi�re 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 m�nera � sa perte. Sur cette trame �prouv�e, Ir�ne N�mirovsky fait danser les mots avec humour et se joue brillamment des passions humaines et des cruaut�s du sort. Mais cette Proie doit pourtant beaucoup aux ann�es 1930, � leur �nergie tragique, � tous leurs espoirs bris�s. C'est cette course folle vers le gouffre qui en fait sa modernit�.

On red�couvre avec plaisir l'oeuvre d'Ir�ne N�mirovsky depuis la publication posthume de Suite fran�aise en 2004. Romanci�re tr�s en vue du Paris des ann�es 1930, Ir�ne N�mirovsky, n�e � Kiev en 1903, morte � Auschwitz, a �t� arr�t�e le 13 juillet 1942 par la police fran�aise.
