Le Chardonneret (Roman contemporain) (French Edition)

Theodore Decker a 13 ans quand sa vie bascule : alors qu'il visite une exposition au Metropolitan de New York avec sa mère, qui attire son attention sur Le Chardonneret, exquise représentation de l'oiseau par Carel Fabritius, élève de Rembrandt et inspirateur de Vermeer -, un attentat à la bombe pulvérise le musée. Theo s'en sort, pas sa mère. Choqué, hagard, il subtilise le fameux tableau, miraculeusement préservé. Le cours de son existence y sera lié à jamais. D'abord accueilli dans la riche famille d'un ami de lycée, le garçon est sommé de suivre son père, un alcoolique qui ne s'est jamais occupé de lui, dans un quartier glauque de Las Vegas. Puis, de retour à New York après la mort brutale de son père, Theo va prendre contact avec un antiquaire de Greenwich et s'immerger dans le milieu des trafiquants d'art - dissimulant toujours son précieux talisman... "The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a dozen times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an extraordinary work of fiction."--Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review Composed with the skills of a master, The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a thirteen-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art. As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love-and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle. The Goldfinch is a novel of shocking narrative energy and power. It combines unforgettably vivid characters, mesmerizing language, and breathtaking suspense, while plumbing with a philosopher's calm the deepest mysteries of love, identity, and art. It is a beautiful, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate.
