By the early l940s, when Ukrainian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française —the first two parts of a planned five-part novel—she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France—where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis — she’d begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Némirovsky’s literary masterpiece

The first part, “A Storm in June,” opens in the chaos of the massive 1940 exodus from Paris on the eve of the Nazi invasion during which several families and individuals are thrown together under circumstances beyond their control. They share nothing but the harsh demands of survival—some trying to maintain lives of privilege, others struggling simply to preserve their lives—but soon, all together, they will be forced to face the awful exigencies of physical and emotional displacement, and the annihilation of the world they know. In the second part, “Dolce,” we enter the increasingly complex life of a German-occupied provincial village. Coexisting uneasily with the soldiers billeted among them, the villagers—from aristocrats to shopkeepers to peasants—cope as best they can. Some choose resistance, others collaboration, and as their community is transformed by these acts, the lives of these these men and women reveal nothing less than the very essence of humanity.

Suite Française is a singularly piercing evocation—at once subtle and severe, deeply compassionate and fiercely ironic—of life and death in occupied France, and a brilliant, profoundly moving work of art.

读后感

很久以来，似乎都找不到有哪一种如此般的悲惨幕后让我震惊到说不出话来。 作者曾是一位很有名的犹太裔作家。在体验了战争磨砺后，她决定写一部1000页，由五部分构成的史诗。就在完成第二部时，她被送去了奥斯维辛集中营。这部未完成的书稿一直在她孩子的身上保管着，直到60年...  

非常喜欢这个封面。书也一样，写的是战争，却像在跳一支舞。没有太血腥的场面，倒是很有美感。敌人一样是人，是不是。即使是同胞，在战争中也可以冷漠彼此。战争的极端环境下，人性被放大，特别是自私一面。 写得非常优秀。技巧好极了。是的，我是说技巧。因为，行文时时可以...  

很久以前，有人问我这样一个问题，早晨醒来，身边熟悉的面孔消失，生活不复往昔，日常秩序紊乱，你将怎么办？ 啊，我将怎么办？说实话，还没有细想。当时，大概觉得问题过于虚无缥缈：无非是一个不切实际的遥远预想。退一步讲，即使在人类生存、不断前进的过程中，每一种“可...  

文学即人学。假如机缘巧合，老调重谈也有老调重谈的好处。读完《法兰西组曲》后突然想到的，竟是老高尔基这句悖时又悖时的话。的确，在这部堪称史诗以二战为背景的作品中，作者展示了非凡的的文学造诣和卓越的思想深度。优雅的叙述节奏，生动的细节刻画，以及深刻的人性洞察，...
