"Das Werk einer Frau, die die Stärke eines der Meister wie Balzac oder Dostojewski hat", New York Times, 1930.
Im Jahr 1929 erlangte die 26-jährige Irène Némirovsky in Frankreich mit der Veröffentlichung ihres ersten Romans David Golder. Damals hätte nur die vorausschauendste Person die Ereignisse vorhergesagt, die zu ihrem außergewöhnlichen Abschlussroman Suite Francaise und ihrem Tod in Auschwitz geführt haben. Doch die Hinweise gibt es in dieser erstaunlich reifen Geschichte eines älteren jüdischen Geschäftsmannes, der seine Seele verkauft hat.
Golder ist eine hervorragende Kreation. Geboren in die Armut am Schwarzen Meer, hat er sich durch Spekulationen über Gold und Öl zu fabelhaftem Reichtum geklaut. Als sich der Roman öffnet, ist er in seiner prächtigen Pariser Wohnung bei der Arbeit, während seine Frau und seine geliebte Tochter Joy sein Geld in ihrer Villa in Biarritz ausgeben. Aber Golders Sicherheit ist zerbrechlich. Seit Jahren verteidigt er seine Geschäftsinteressen vor Wettbewerbern. Jetzt beginnt seine Gesundheit die Belastung zu zeigen. Wie sein Körper ihn verrät, tun es auch seine Frau und sein Kind, und lässt ihn entscheiden, was er verfolgen soll: Rache oder Altruismus?
David Golder ist zum ersten Mal seit 1930 erhältlich und ist ein umkehrend kühlendes und brillantes Porträt des rasenden Kapitalismus der 1920er Jahre und ein universelles Gleichnis über das Trugbild des Reichtums.

Paperback. Irene Nemirovsky, Vintage Publishing. Translated by Sandra Smith, with an introduction by Patrick Marnham.In 1929, 26-year-old Irene Nemirovsky shot to fame in France with the publication of her first novel David Golder. At the time, only the most prescient would have predicted the events that led to her extraordinary final novel Suite Francaise and her death at Auschwitz. Yet the clues are there in this astonishingly mature story of an elderly Jewish businessman who has sold his soul.Golder is a superb creation. Born into poverty on the Black Sea, he has clawed his way to fabulous wealth by speculating on gold and oil. When the novel opens, he is at work in his magnificent Parisian apartment while his wife and beloved daughter, Joy, spend his money at their villa in Biarritz. But Golder's security is fragile. For years he has defended his business interests from cut-throat competitors. Now his health is beginning to show the strain. As his body betrays him, so too do his wife and child, leaving him to decide which to pursue: revenge or altruism?Available for the first time since 1930, David Golder is a page-turningly chilling and brilliant portrait of the frenzied capitalism of the 1920s and a universal parable about the mirage of wealth.
