"La danseuse arrivait, le matin, � sept heures quarante-cinq, gare du Nord. Ensuite le m�tro jusqu'� la place de Clichy. Le b�timent du studio Wacker �tait v�tuste. Au rez-de-chauss�e, une dizaine de pianos d'occasion, rang�s en d�sordre comme dans un d�p�t. Aux �tages, une sorte de cantine avec un bar et les studios de danse. Elle prenait des cours avec Boris Kniaseff, un Russe que l'on consid�rait comme l'un des meilleurs professeurs... Une odeur particuli�re de vieux bois, de lavande et de sueur."

About the Author

Patrick Modiano, n� en 1945, est l'un des plus talentueux �crivains de sa g�n�ration. Explorateur du pass�, il sait ressusciter avec une pr�cision extr�me l'atmosph�re et les d�tails de lieux et d'�poques r�volues, comme le Paris de l'occupation, dans son premier roman, "La Place de l'�toile", paru en 1968. Avec "Catherine Certitude", il nous fait p�n�trer dans l'univers tendre d'une petite fille au nom �trange, dont l'enfance se d�roule dans le quartier de la gare du Nord, � Paris, au cours des ann�es 1960. Il est le quinzi�me �crivain fran�ais � recevoir la prestigieuse r�compense, le Prix Nobel de litt�rature, le 9 octobre 2014. Grand prix de la Fondation Prince Pierre de Monaco (1984) Grand prix de Litt�rature Paul-Morand de l'Acad�mie fran�aise (2000) Prix mondial de la Fondation Simone et Cino del Duca (2010) Prix Nobel de litt�rature (2014)
