Présentation de l'éditeur
Memories of a Pure Spring is a mesmerizing portrait of modern Vietnam and its people who struggle to survive under the complexities of a post-war regime. During the Vietnam war, Hung, a well-known composer, becomes enchanted by the voice and beauty of a young peasant girl named Suong. He invites her to join his troupe; she becomes his wife and his star performer. But after the war, Hung loses his job, setting off a series of events that drive him and Suong into a destructive spiral. One of Vietnam's most popular writers, Duong Thu Huong draws on her own experiences to describe life at the battlefront, the conditions of a "re-education" camp, and the texture and rhythm, scents and sounds, of a provincial Vietnamese city. Most of all, she tells a haunting, universal story of failed love.

Vendeur : Bookbot, Prague, Rébublique tchèque
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Gebrochener Buchrücken. Gifted with extraordinary vitality and talent, Suong, with her crystal voice, ardently loves the musician Hung. Stubborn and naive, she offers no forgiveness, no morality, and harbors no regrets despite the misunderstanding and cynicism that arise with peace in Vietnam. This love story, woven from memories and nourished by the lyricism of childhood voices and scents, leaves us dazzled by such enthusiasm in the face of mediocrity, and by this intact energy in the face of the painful decline and despair experienced by her lover Hung, the true hero of the book, who can no longer find harmony with himself and his art.
