LE BAL depicts the life of the Kampfs who, having recently gone up in the world thanks to luck with the stock decide to throw a ball in order to launch themselves into society. Their daughter Antoinette, who has just turned fourteen, dreams of attending. But Madame Kampf is resolved not to present her daughter, already so grown up, to her admirers. Instead, Antoinette is forced to sleep in the laundry room, as her bedroom is used as coatroom. In an unpremeditated fury of revolt and despair, Antoinette takes her revenge. It is swift and it is horrible. A cruel, funny and tender examination of class differences, of the dynamic between mother and daughter, LE BAL is ultimately dedicated to the torments of childhood.SNOW IN AUTUMN pays homage to Nemirovsky's beloved Chekhov and chronicles the life of a devoted servant following her masters as they flee Revolutionary Moscow and emigrate to a life of hardship in Paris.… (altro)

Come le mosche d'autunno In pochissime pagine, cinquanta, la Némirovsky riesce a trasmettere l'angoscia e la vita cupa di questa famiglia che ha abbandonato la Russia durante la rivoluzione, ma soprattutto a me è arrivato un senso di dispiacere per la governante Tatjana trattata malissimo da tutti eppure così devota tanto da camminare per tre mesi a piedi per raggiungerli! ''Il ballo'' Che crudeltà! Una madre insopportabile ed egoista non poteva che generare una figlia capace di una crudele vendetta! Splendido! http://www.lacasadialchemilla.com/2013/02/come-le-mosche-dautunno-il-ballo-di.ht...

Nemirovsky is my current literary love affair. She writes the most brilliant colourful bits of life. Le Bal is wickedly clever; Snow in Autumn is poignant. I'm gushing because I wouldn't review her in any other way. ( )

This book is comprised of two novellas. The first, Le Bal, is about a 14 year old girl's revenge on her narcissistic and overbearing mother. Its an absolute gem. The writing, characterisation, pacing and final denoument are all perfectly executed. A five-star story without a doubt.

The second novella, Snow in Autumn, is a story, told through the eyes of the old nanny, of a wealthy, aristocratic family fleeing the Russian Revolution and ending up in Paris where they all struggle to adapt, some less successfully than others, notably the nanny. Its a piece that can best be described as 'un homage de Chekov'. I am not a Chekov fan and I didn't like this much either. Only a two-star story for me, but the first novella was so superlative that I've awarded the book 4 stars. ( )

The plots of the two novellas were quite good, but the writing itself lacked maturity, in my view. Not a criticism: the writer was only 27 when she wrote them. She went on to write a well known novel "Suite Francaise" later (which I am planning to read and thus, hopefully, upgrade my opinion of the author). Translation from French seemed also less than adequate - I had a strong feeling about it even without seeing the original. In fact, I think it considerably contributed to my disappointment with the writing style itself. ( )

Two novellas, Le Bal and Snow in Autumn..

Le Bal is set in the same nouveau riche milieu as David Golder, with characters equally unappealing. Arriviste couple, the Kampfs, plan to give a ball. Their fourteen-year old daughter takes takes revenge for not being allowed to atttend.

Snow in Autumn describes the last days in Russia and the first months in Paris of an aristocratic family whose patriarch and young men have been conscripted to fight inthe war against the Bolshevics. Their old nurse follows the family to Odessa then escapes with them to France, where she waits for the snows of autumn. ( )
