David Golder, The Ball, Snow in Autumn, The Courilof Affair (Omnibus) (trans. by Sandra Smith)
David Golder is the novel that established Néirovsky’s reputation in France in 1929 when she was twenty-six. It is a novel about greed and loneliness, the story of a self-made business man, once wealthy, now suffering a breakdown as he nears the lonely end of his life; The Courilof Affair tells the story of a Russian revolutionary living out his last days–and his recollections of his first infamous assassination. Also included are two short, gemlike novels: The Ball, a pointed exploration of adolescence and the obsession with status among the bourgeoisie; and Snow in Autumn, an evocative tale of White Russian émigrés in Paris after the Russian Revolution.
Dimanche and Other Stories (translated by Bridget Patterson)
Written between 1934 and 1942, these ten stories mine the same terrain of Némirovsky’s bestselling novel Suite Française: a keen eye for the details of social class; the tensions between mothers and daughters, husbands and wives; the manners and mannerisms of the French bourgeoisie; questions of religion and personal identity. Moving from the drawing rooms of pre-war Paris to the lives of men and women in wartime France, here we find the beautiful work of a writer at the height of her tragically short career.
