Un pranzo a settembre (I Biplani)
La monotona e vuota quotidianità di Thérèse si interrompe quando nel solito caffè incontra un vecchio amico, di cui un tempo era invaghita e che non vede da quand’era ragazza.
L’indomani compirà quarant’anni, il marito è fuori città, e l’occasione di un pranzo con l’antico flirt in riva al lago a parlare di niente riavvolge all’indietro i
«Tutti gli anni passati scricchiolano come i freschi gamberetti sotto i denti invecchiati dei protagonisti, che a tavola si abbandonano al tetro eros di un’ultima grande bouffe. “Un pranzo a settembre” è il canto del cigno delle illusioni di Irène Némirovsky» (Cinzia Bigliosi, traduttrice).
Un nuovo titolo della collana I Biplani, piccole perle nascoste di autori interpretati da firme eccellenti del mondo dell’illustrazione, qui nell’incantevole abbinamento tra la prosa tesa e malinconica di Némirovsky e l’atmosfera di un autunno d’altri tempi nelle tavole di Mara Cerri, con la postfazione di Cinzia Bigliosi.

About the author
Irène Némirovsky
152 books1,801 followersIrène Némirovsky was born in Kyiv in 1903 into a successful banking family. Trapped in Moscow by the Russian Revolution, she and her family fled first to a village in Finland, and eventually to France, where she attended the Sorbonne.
Irène Némirovsky achieved early success as a writer: her first novel, David Golder, published when she was twenty-six, was a sensation. By 1937 she had published nine further books and David Golder had been made into a film; she and her husband Michel Epstein, a bank executive, moved in fashionable social circles.
When the Germans occupied France in 1940, she moved with her husband and two small daughters, aged 5 and 13, from Paris to the comparative safety of Issy-L’Evêque. It was there that she secretly began writing Suite Française. Though her family had converted to Catholicism, she was arrested on 13 July, 1942, and interned in the concentration camp at Pithiviers. She died in Auschwitz in August of that year. --Penguin Random House
