A continuation of the popular Very Christmas Series, this collection brings together the best French Christmas stories of all time in an elegant and vibrant collection featuring classics by Guy de Maupassant and Alphonse Daudet, plus stories by the esteemed 20th-century author Irène Némirovsky and contemporary writers Dominique Fabre and Jean-Philippe Blondel.

At the center of the tale is Silvio: in his younger years he fled the boredom of the village and made a life of travel and adventure. Now he's returned, living in a farmer's hovel in the middle of the woods, and, much to his family's chagrin, perfectly content with his solitude.

La profunda discordancia entre la indiferente placidez de la vida burguesa y el dramático devenir de los acontecimientos -que sería el leitmotiv de su siguiente y última obra, la excepcional Suite francesa-, es el hilo conductor del que Némirovsky se sirve para narrar las vicisitudes de una familia burguesa del norte de Francia sobre el trasfondo de un período especialmente convulso de la historia europea que culmina con el desmoronamiento del orden social que siguió a la ocupación alemana.

Obra cumbre de Irène Némirovsky y baluarte literario contra el fanatismo y la intolerancia, Suite francesa cautivó al mundo con su retrato inmisericorde de la sociedad francesa de entreguerras. En Los fuegos de otoño, Némirovsky compone de nuevo un sensacional fresco narrativo del envilecimiento de la burguesía parisina durante ese período vertiginoso.

Best known for her posthumously published novel Suite française, Irène Némirovsky was born in Kiev in 1903. Her family fled the Russian Revolution for Paris, where she found fame as a novelist. But when the Nazis occupied France, she was arrested as a Jew and sent to Auschwitz, where she died aged just 39. This collection includes four of her best works, dramatised for radio with a full cast.

La figlia di due ricchi proprietari terrieri sta per unirsi in matrimonio con un giovane di buona famiglia, innamorato e fedele. Il loro amore è così puro, solido, intoccabile da sembrare quasi surreale. In realtà, fin dall’inizio della vicenda l’autrice inserisce qua e là alcuni indizi sulle loro vite che un po’ alla volta svelano elementi dissonanti, perfino allarmanti. Il romanzo, ambientato nelle campagne francesi del dopoguerra, indaga nelle emozioni dell’animo umano.
