This novel by Nobel Prize–winning author Patrick Modiano is one of the most seductive and accessible in his oeuvre: the story of a man’s memories of fleeing responsibility, finding love, and searching for meaning in an uncertain world The narrator of Villa Triste, an anxious, roving, stateless young man of eighteen, arrives in a small French lakeside town near Switzerland in the early 1960s. He is fleeing the atmosphere of menace he feels around him and the fear that grips him. Fear of war? Of imminent catastrophe? Of others? Whatever it may be, the proximity of Switzerland, to which he plans to run at the first sign of danger, gives him temporary reassurance. The young man hides among the other summer visitors until he meets a beautiful young actress named Yvonne Jacquet, and a strange doctor, René Meinthe. These two invite him into their world of soirees and late-night debauchery. But when real life beckons once again, he finds no sympathy from his new companions. Modiano has written a haunting novel that captures lost youth, the search for identity, and ultimately, the fleetingness of time.

Per non andare a combattere in Algeria – siamo ai primi degli Anni Sessanta – un giovane francese di cui sappiamo molto poco, va a rifugiarsi in una stazione termale affacciata su un lago dell’Alta Savoia, a pochi chilometri dalla Svizzera. Volendo nascondere la sua identità, si presenta come un discendente di una nobile famiglia russa: il conte Chmara. Dopo qualche tempo, incontra una ragazza molto affascinante che ha qualche anno più di lui: Yvonne. Lei dichiara di essere una attrice che ha appena finito di partecipare al film di un regista tedesco, girato proprio da quelle parti. I due si innamorano e, nella località turistica che col suo Casino, i ricevimenti, i campi da tennis, i concorsi di bellezza, sembra essere attrezzata di tutto punto per proporsi come una imitazione sbiadita e volgare della Costa Azzurra in cui un tempo avevano folleggiato Francis Scott Fitzgerald e sua moglie Zelda, e W.S. Maugham avrebbe sfogato fino all’ultimo il suo pessimo umore, vivono una lunga estate di passione e di bugie. Yvonne fa parte di quegli esseri misteriosi – sempre gli stessi – che, come sentinelle, se ne stanno ai bivi della nostra esistenza e, nel momento stesso in cui li incontriamo, ci travolgono. Il finto conte Chmara è un apolide della vita, alla ricerca del passato e del tutto. Sono, entrambi, protagonisti di “quel momento della giovinezza in cui tutto è sul punto di precipitare e presto sarà troppo tardi per tutto”. È inevitabile che, insieme, costruiscano una vicenda drammaticamente esemplare. Villa triste, il romanzo che Patrick Modiano scrisse quando ancora non aveva compiuto trent’anni, è un romanzo inquietante, a tratti ironico e “cattivo”, fascinosamente rétro, percorso da una potente vena d’erotismo. Modiano, in questo, è un maestro. Conosce perfettamente la misura. E quali sono i gesti, quali sono le parole, quali sono i luoghi, in cui si nasconde il desiderio. Giorgio Montefoschi

Une petite ville de la province française, au bord d'un lac et à proximité de la Suisse. C'est dans cette station thermale qu'à dix-huit ans le narrateur, un apatride " aux semelles de vent " et à l'âme inquiète, vient se réfugier afin d'échapper à des menaces qu'il sent rôder autour de lui et à la peur panique qui le dévore. Peur d'une guerre, d'une catastrophe imminente ? Peur des " autres " ? En tout cas, la proximité de la Suisse, où il compte fuir à la moindre " alerte ", lui apporte un réconfort provisoire. Il se cache au début de ce mois de juillet dans la foule des estivants, quand il fait la rencontre d'une jeune fille, Yvonne Jacquet, et d'un étrange docteur, René Meinthe, auxquels il s'accroche comme un noyé. Mais ces deux êtres sont eux-mêmes aussi exilés que lui de la vraie vie, malgré la parade sociale qu'ils jouent dans un milieu où passent comme des lucioles des personnages aux contours estompés par la dérision et la mélancolie. Le narrateur, en " voyeur d'ombres ", évoque cet été d'il y a presque quinze ans et tente d'arracher à l'oubli les visages, la fragilité des instants, les atmosphères d'une saison déjà lointaine. Mais tout défile et se dérobe, comme à travers la vitre d'un train, de sorte qu'il ne reste plus que le souvenir d'un mirage et d'un décor de carton-pâte. Et une musique où s'entrecroisent plusieurs thèmes : le déraciné qui cherche vainement des attaches, le temps qui passe et la jeunesse perdue.

From Lucretia Grindle, author of Villa Triste, comes a novel of lives lost and found, as intricate and mysterious as the Italian streets where the story's secrets begin. When American student Kristin Carson enrolls in a study abroad program in Florence, she's sure it will be the best year of her life, a chance to explore art, poetry, and romance in the arms of her new Italian boyfriend. But days before her parents arrive in Florence to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, Kristin disappears. Senior Detective Alessandro Pallioti and his young protégé Enzo Saenz are called to investigate. At first they believe she's simply run off for a romantic weekend and forgotten to tell her parents. But when Kristin's step-mother, Anna, also goes missing, Pallioti and Saenz suspect something much more sinister has happened. As they deepen their investigation they discover that Anna Carson is not who she appears to be, and Kristin's new boyfriend isn't just another local Lothario, but one of the most infamous—and dangerous—men in Italy. To find Kristin, Pallioti and Saenz must first find Anna and uncover the secrets she's kept buried for a lifetime. To do so, they must wade through the past, revisiting times and places most Italians would rather forget, and walk in the footsteps of the dead.
