书籍简介

现在是一部重要的法国电影 《Au revoir la-haut》--龚古尔奖获奖杰作，作者为你带来了《Alex、Irene和Camille》。"近年来令人愉快的阅读体验之一"--大卫-米尔斯，《星期日泰晤士报》1918年10月：西线的战争几乎结束。为了获得一次晋升机会，雄心勃勃的亨利-德奥内-普拉代尔中尉派出两名侦察兵，并在他们的背后秘密开枪，以煽动他的手下再次采取英雄行动。

于是，一连串的破坏性事件开始了，这些事件将把Pradelle和目睹他犯罪的两名士兵的命运和财富紧紧地联系在一起： Albert Maillard和Edouard Pericourt。回到平民生活后，阿尔伯特和爱德华努力适应这个社会，因为这个社会对死者的崇敬与对幸存者的怨恨不尽相同。但这两名士兵密谋对抛弃他们的国家进行大胆的报复，以史诗般的规模诈骗整个法国。

与此同时，爱德华的妹妹玛德莱娜认为她的哥哥已经阵亡，于是嫁给了普拉代尔，后者正在进行自己的小骗局...... 译者：弗兰克-怀恩(Frank Wynne)

Now a major French film Au revoir la-haut - Prix Goncourt-winning masterpiece by the writer who brought you Alex, Irene and Camille. "One of the most pleasurable reading experiences of recent years" - David Mills, The Sunday TimesOctober 1918: the war on the Western Front is all but over. Desperate for one last chance of promotion, the ambitious Lieutenant Henri d'Aulnay Pradelle sends two scouts over the top, and secretly shoots them in the back to incite his men to heroic action once more.

And so is set in motion a series of devastating events that will inextricably bind together the fates and fortunes of Pradelle and the two soldiers who witness his crime: Albert Maillard and Edouard Pericourt. Back in civilian life, Albert and Edouard struggle to adjust to a society whose reverence for its dead cannot quite match its resentment for those who survived. But the two soldiers conspire to enact an audacious form of revenge against the country that abandoned them to penury and despair, with a scheme to swindle the whole of France on an epic scale.

Meanwhile, believing her brother killed in action, Edouard's sister Madeleine has married Pradelle, who is running a little scam of his own... Translated from the French by Frank Wynne
