«Due» is the novel by Irène Némirovsky, published by Adelphi in paperback (237 pages, in Italian).
A novel set in the youth of the 1920s, with the First World War just ended. It follows several young couples seeking to live the present intensely and explores how passionate love turns into friendship within marriage, amid torments, adultery and the search for security. With an ironic and compassionate gaze, Némirovsky shows how the constancy of conjugal love ultimately gives the couple a form of invincibility.
Work originally published in French as «Deux» in 1939. This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Adelphi collection (number 555), in Italian.
For readers of classic fiction and twentieth-century French literature interested in couple relationships; it also connects with those who have read «Suite française».
Irène Némirovsky was a novelist of Ukrainian Jewish origin who was born in Kiev, then in the Russian Empire. She lived more than half her life in France and wrote in French, but was denied French nationality. Arrested as a Jew under the racial laws – which did not take into account her conversion to Roman Catholicism – she died in Auschwitz at the age of 39. Némirovsky is best known for the posthumously published Suite française.
