Un été d'amour

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £166.71
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

David Krempa, biologiste praguois, est obsédé par son métier. Sa femme et ses enfants existent tout juste à la périphérie de sa vie, qu'il a ordonnée, sur le plan professionnel et privé, de façon à consacrer la majeure partie de son temps à la science. Pour cette raison, il n'a jamais levé les yeux sur une autre femme. Alors pourquoi s'attarde-t-il sur cette jeune fille, rencontrée par hasard à un enterrement ? Sensuelle, frivole, incapable de voir au-delà de l'instant présent, Iva n'a rien en commun avec cet homme, hormis l'égoïsme. Pourtant elle exerce sur lui une fascination qu'il ne comprend ni ne maîtrise. Ainsi une obsession cède le pas à une autre, qui usurpe le cœur, l'âme, l'esprit de David, qui l'aspire hors de sa vie rangée dans un vide où sombrent ses idéaux, son mariage, sa carrière et l'objet même de son amour. Ivan Klíma relate cette histoire, en apparence simple, avec la fraîcheur et la grâce subtile qui font de lui l’un des ecrivains les plus importants de Tchécoslovaquie.
