Verbijsterd, zo voelt Katja Petrowskaja zich als ze aan haar familie denkt. De meeste leden ervan leven alleen voort als naam, slechts een handjevol heeft de twee ergste rampen van de twintigste eeuw overleefd, het stalinisme en het nazisme. Katja Petrowskaja probeert de verkruimelde familie te redden van een naamloos verleden, ze schraapt via gesprekken, archiefonderzoek en reizen stukjes en beetjes bijeen van wat ook háár geschiedenis is. Ze probeert er een samenhangend geheel van te maken en legt zo het ene na het andere drama vast, van showprocessen onder Stalin tot de gruwelijke moordpartij door de nazi’s in het ravijn Babi Jar in Kiev. En ze geeft de mensen die er niet langer zijn een gezicht.

An inventive, unique, and extraordinarily moving debut memoir that pieces together the fascinating story of one woman’s family across twentieth-century Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Germany. Katja Petrowskaja wanted to create a kind of family tree, charting relatives who had scattered across multiple countries and continents. Her idea blossomed into this striking and highly original work of narrative nonfiction, an account of her search for meaning within the stories of her ancestors. In a series of short meditations, Petrowskaja delves into family legends, introducing a remarkable cast of characters: Judas Stern, her great-uncle, who shot a German diplomatic attaché in 1932 and was sentenced to death; her grandfather Semyon, who went underground with a new name during the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, forever splitting their branch of the family from the rest; her grandmother Rosa, who ran an orphanage in the Urals for deaf-mute Jewish children; her Ukrainian grandfather Vasily, who disappeared during World War II and reappeared without explanation forty-one years later—and settled back into the family as if he’d never been gone; and her great-grandmother, whose name may have been Esther, who alone remained in Kiev and was killed by the Nazis. How do you talk about what you can’t know, how do you bring the past to life? To answer this complex question, Petrowskaja visits the scenes of these events, reflecting on a fragmented and traumatized century and bringing to light family figures who threaten to drift into obscurity. A true search for the past reminiscent of Jonathan Safran Foer’s Everything Is Illuminated, Daniel Mendelsohn’s The Lost, and Michael Chabon’s Moonglow, Maybe Esther is a poignant, haunting investigation of the effects of history on one family.

Si sarà proprio chiamata Esther quella bisnonna che, nella Kiev del 1941, chiese fiduciosa a due soldati tedeschi la strada per Babij Jar, la fossa comune degli ebrei, ricevendone come risposta un distratta rivoltellata? Forse. E dell'intera famiglia, dispersa fra Polonia, Russia e Austria, che cosa ne è stato? Il monolite sovietico conosceva l'avvenire, non la memoria. Per ricostruire quella ramificata genealogia, quel vivace intreccio di culture e di lingue – yiddish, polacco, ucraino, ebraico, russo, tedesco –, Katja Petrowskaja intraprende, sulle tracce degli scomparsi, un intenso viaggio a ritroso nella storia di un Novecento sul quale incombono la stella gialla e quella rossa, e in cui si incrociano i destini di memorabili figure: la babuška Rosa, incantevole logopedista di Varsavia, che salva duecento bambini sopravvissuti all'assedio di Leningrado; il nonno ucraino, prigioniero di guerra a Mauthausen e riemerso da un gulag dopo decenni; il prozio Judas Stern, che spara a un diplomatico tedesco nella Mosca del 1932, e dopo un processo-farsa viene spedito «nel mondo della materia disorganizzata»; il fratello Semën, il rivoluzionario di Odessa, che passando ai bolscevichi cambia in Petrovskij un cognome troppo ebraico... Ma indimenticabili protagonisti sono anche i paesaggi: l'immane pianura russa invasa dai tedeschi e le città della vecchia Europa: Kiev, Mosca, Varsavia, Berlino. E i ghetti, i gulag e i lager nazisti. In questo romanzo vero, vibrante, venato di ironia – il migliore che la letteratura tedesca ci abbia dato dopo "Austerlitz" di Sebald –, mondi inabissati risorgono vividi, rapinosi, e più che mai contemporanei.

Hieß sie wirklich Esther, die Großmutter des Vaters, die 1941 im besetzten Kiew allein in der Wohnung der geflohenen Familie zurückblieb? Die jiddischen Worte, die sie vertrauensvoll an die deutschen Soldaten auf der Straße richtete – wer hat sie gehört? Und als die Soldaten die Babuschka erschossen, »mit nachlässiger Routine« – wer hat am Fenster gestanden und zugeschaut? In Kiew und Mauthausen, Warschau und Wien legt Katja Petrowskaja Fragmente eines zerbrochenen Familienmosaiks frei – Stoff für einen Epochenroman, erzählt in lapidaren Geschichten. Die Autorin schreibt von ihren Reisen zu den Schauplätzen, reflektiert über ein zersplittertes, traumatisiertes Jahrhundert und rückt Figuren ins Bild, deren Gesichter nicht mehr erkennbar sind. Ungläubigkeit, Skrupel und ein Sinn für Komik wirken in jedem Satz dieses eindringlichen Buches.

Neste romance celebrado pela crítica, a ucraniana de língua alemã Katja Petrowskaja reconstitui a fragmentada trajetória de sua família a partir de uma perspectiva inusitada. Numa esquina da Kiev dçe setembro de 1941, a babuchka, que talvez se chamasse Esther, pergunta em iídiche a soldados alemães o caminho para Babi Yar, onde, dois dias depois, mais de 33 mil judeus seriam mortos. Essa história, porém, começa muito antes e é narrada de um ponto de vista singular: o de uma ex-cidadã soviética nascida na Ucrânia no início da década de 1970 que escolhe Berlim como refúgio e ponto de partida, e adota o alemão, aprendido aos 26 anos, como instrumento de resgate de uma fragmentada história familiar. É dessa Berlim, hoje pacífica, que parte a jornada da narradora em busca da própria história, entrecruzada a todo instante por eventos cruciais do século XX. "Uma obra de arte que pouco se encontra na literatura de língua alemã: uma história familiar não sufocada pela convenção literária nem pelo peso da matéria narrada." — Sebastian Hammelehle, Spiegel Online "Raras vezes uma história familiar — e há uma profusão delas — foi apresentada de forma tão apaixonante e comovente." — Volker Hage, Der Spiegel

Comprendre d'où l'on vient, n'est-ce pas la première responsabilité de l'âge adulte ? Katja Petrowskaja a grandi dans une famille juive à Kiev, en Ukraine, dans les années soixante-dix. De son enfance, lui reste un étrange sentiment de manque. Qu'est-ce qui n'était pas dit autour de la grande table familiale ? Dans quelle béance de l'Histoire ces ancêtres dont on taisait les noms avaient-ils été happés ? Peut-être Esther est le fruit de cette quête des origines. Pas à pas, une découverte après l'autre, Katja Petrowskaja raconte sa filiation. Un arrière-grand-oncle dont l'attentat contre un ambassadeur allemand pourrait avoir déclenché la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; un grand-père prisonnier de guerre réapparu quarante et un ans plus tard ; une arrière-grand-mère qui s'appelait peut-être Esther, qui à Kiev en 1941 s'est rendue d'elle-même au ravin de Babi Yar, où l'occupant éliminait alors en masse tous les habitants juifs de la ville. Par le prisme de ces destins brisés, Katja Petrowskaja trace les contours d'une Mitteleuropa disparue et livre un récit du vingtième siècle où alternent le clair et l'obscur, la force et la fragilité, la gloire et la défaite. Traduit de l'allemand par Barbara Fontaine " Un récit saisissant, bouleversant, écrit sur le mode de la précaution, du doute et parfois du découragement. On a rarement lu une histoire familiale ¿ et Dieu sait si elles sont nombreuses ¿ à la fois aussi captivante et émouvante. De la grande littérature. " ¿ Der Spiegel Katja Petrowskaja est née à Kiev en 1970. Après des études littéraires à Tartu en Estonie, puis à New York, Stanford et Moscou, elle s'est installée à Berlin, où elle est journaliste pour divers médias russes et allemands. Peut-être Esther, qu'elle a choisi d'écrire en allemand, est son premier livre. En cours de traduction dans dix-huit pays, il lui a valu en 2013 le prestigieux prix Ingeborg-Bachmann . Barbara Fontaine traduit essentiellement des auteurs de fiction contemporains, parmi lesquels Ursula Krechel, Hans-Ulrich Treichel, Katja Lange-Müller, Robert Menasse, Klaus Hoffer. Elle est lauréate du prix André-Gide 2008 pour la traduction d'Un pays invisible de Stephan Wackwitz, et du prix Amphi 2010 pour la traduction de Près de Jedenew de Kevin Vennemann.
