Set in the early 1960s, this novel follows an eighteen-year-old who, under the alias of Count Victor Chmara, hides in a provincial town to escape the horrors of the Algerian War. There, he meets Yvonne, a young actress, and her inner circle, becoming part of a worldly group that lives oblivious to the reality of post-colonial France. Through a narrative that shifts between the present and a past idealized by memory, the story serves as both an ode to the beauty of youth and a critique of a society failing to confront its recent history. This Basque edition by Igela Argitaletxea captures the melancholic and reflective essence of Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano's work.
