Elizabeth Jane Howard Livres

Mars 1942. Les cousines Polly et Clary ont 17 ans alors que la guerre fait rage. Accablées par le chagrin, l'une à cause du décès de sa mère et l'autre par la disparition de son père, les jeunes filles cherchent un moyen d'échapper à l'étau familial

Septembre 1939. La famille Cazalet, réunie à Home Place, apprend l’entrée en guerre de l’Angleterre à la suite de l’invasion de la Pologne. On ferme les demeures londoniennes les unes après les autres pour se mettre à l’abri dans le Sussex, où les préoccupations de chacun – parent, enfant ou domestique – sont régulièrement interrompues par les raids allemands. Polly, dont les parents s’enfoncent dans un insupportable mutisme, se tourne vers les discours pacifistes de Christopher et l’oreille attentive de Miss Milliment. Clary, sa meilleure amie, renseigne chaque parcelle de sa vie dans des carnets et élabore mille scénarios pour expliquer le silence de son père Rupert, porté disparu sur les côtes françaises. Serait-il devenu espion aux côtés du général de Gaulle? Zoë, sa femme, vient de donner naissance à Juliet, qui ne connaîtra peut-être jamais son père. Fascinées, les deux adolescentes observent aussi leur cousine Louise: à dix-huit ans, alors qu’elle fait ses débuts dans un sinistre théâtre de province, elle fume et porte des pantalons, au grand dam de sa famille. Deuxième tome de la saga des Cazalet, À rude épreuve reprend le fil de l’existence de personnages dont Elizabeth Jane Howard continue d’explorer les secrets les plus enfouis, alors que l’Angleterre subit de plein fouet le conflit mondial tant redouté.

Juillet 1937. À Home Place, au cœur du Sussex, jardiniers, femmes de chambre et cuisinière sont sur le pont. La Duche orchestre le ballet des domestiques avant l’arrivée de ses trois fils, Hugh, Edward et Rupert Cazalet, en chemin depuis Londres avec épouses, enfants et gouvernantes. Où dormira Clary, adolescente mal dans sa peau en plein conflit avec sa belle-mère? Quelle robe portera Villy, ancienne ballerine désormais mère au foyer? Polly, terrorisée à l’idée qu’une guerre éclate, s’entendra-t-elle avec sa cousine Louise qui rêve de devenir actrice? Rachel, la seule fille de la Duche, trouvera-t-elle un moment pour ouvrir la précieuse lettre de son amie Sid? Non-dits, chamailleries, profonds chagrins… Aux préoccupations des adultes font écho les inquiétudes des enfants, et à la résilience des femmes, qu’elles soient épouses, fillettes ou domestiques, répond la toute-puissance – ou l’impuissance – des hommes. L’été regorge d’incertitudes mais, sans l’ombre d’un doute, une nouvelle guerre approche : entre pique-niques sur la plage et soirées auprès du gramophone, il faudra inventorier lits de camp et masques à gaz.

It's 1942 and the dark days of war seem never-ending. Scattered across the still-peaceful Sussex countryside and air-raid-threatened London, the divided Cazalets begin to find the battle for survival echoing the confusion in their own lives. Headstrong, independent Louise surprises the whole family when she abandons her dreams of being an actress and instead makes a society marriage. Polly and Clary, now in their late teens, finally fulfil their ambition of living together in London, but the reality of the city is not quite what they imagined. Polly is struggling to come to terms with the death of her mother and manage her grieving father. Clary, meanwhile, is painfully aware that what she lacks in beauty she makes up for in intelligence, and is the only member of the family who believes that her fther might not be dead..

The second book in the landmark Cazalet Chronicles, previously a BBC radio and TV series. As war breaks out in Britain, Marking Time follows a family wondering if their lives will ever return to normal.

It is twenty years since Julius died, but his last heroic action still affects the lives of the people he left behind. Emma, his youngest daughter, twenty-seven years old and afraid of men. Cressida, her sister, a war widow, blindly searching for love in her affairs with married men. Esme, Julius’ widow, still attractive at fifty-eight, but aimlessly lost in the routine of her perfect home. Felix, Esme’s old lover, who left her when Julius died and who is still plagued by guilt for his action. And Dan, an outsider. Throughout a disastrous — and revelatory — weekend in Sussex, the influence of the dead Julius slowly emerges.

A delightful companion for all those with a love of gardens and of the very best garden writing.

In 1937, the coming war is only a distant cloud on Britain's horizon. As the Cazalet households prepare for their summer pilgrimage to the family estate in Sussex, readers meet Edward, in love with but by no means faithful to his wife Villy; Hugh, wounded in the Great War; Rupert, who worships his lovely child-bride Zoe; and Rachel, the spinster sister.

At Home Place, the windows are blacked out and food is becoming scarce as a new generation of Cazalets takes up the story. Louise dreams of being a great actress, Clary is an aspiring writer, while Polly, is burdened with knowledge and the need to share it. This is the sequel to The Light Years .

It is the 1950s and as the Duchy, the Cazalets' beloved matriarch, dies, she takes with her the last remnants of a disappearing world - of houses with servants, of class and tradition - in which the Cazalets have thrived. Louise, now divorced, becomes entangled in a painful affair; while Polly and Clary must balance marriage and motherhood with their own ideas and ambitions. Hugh and Edward, now in their sixties, are feeling ill-equipped for this modern world; while Villy, long abandoned by her husband, must at last learn to live independently. But it is Rachel, who has always lived for others, who will face her greatest challenges yet ...Events converge at Christmas; as a new generation of Cazalets descend on Home Place. Only one thing is certain: nothing will ever be the same again. 'Elizabeth Jane Howard is one of those novelists who shows, through her work, what the novel is for ...She helps us to do the necessary thing - open our eyes and our hearts' Hilary MantelAll Change is the fifth novel in The Cazalet Chronicles. Read from the beginning of the series: The Light Years, Marking Time, Casting Off and Confusion.

In this candid and revealing memoir, Elizabeth Jane Howard looks back over the course of her eventful life, providing a story of as full of love, passion and betrayal as her novels.

"Born in 1923 and raised in the austere yet close embrace of a large Edwardian family, privately educated at home, unsure of herself, of her worth and of her intelligence, Elizabeth Jane Howard's story reflects that of a generation of English women. The War and short-lived careers as an actress, model, and publishing editor gave her a degree of independence and experience that had been closed to her forebears, and brought her into contact with the artistic community that was to encompass her professional and private life. Her first novel was published in 1950 and her most recent in 1999." "Her circle of friends has included some of the most interesting writers and thinkers of the day - Laurie Lee, Arthur Koestler, Olivia Manning, Cyril Connolly, Ken Tynan and Cecil Day-Lewis, among many others. She has been married three times - firstly to Peter Scott, the naturalist and son of Captain Scott, and most famously and tempestously to Kingsley Amis."--Jacket

De oorlog is voorbij, maar voor de Cazalets is het leven er niet per se makkelijker op geworden. Rupert moet weer wennen aan het burgerbestaan in Engeland. Zijn vrouw Zoë en hij koesteren allebei een ongemakkelijk geheim. Louise zit vast in een liefdeloos huwelijk en is naarstig op zoek naar een uitweg, terwijl Clary en Polly volwassen worden in een wereld die voorgoed is veranderd. Ondertussen moeten hun ouders beslissen waar ze in Londen gaan wonen en breekt voor Edward het uur der waarheid aan ten aanzien van zijn huwelijk. En op de achtergrond valt het Engelse wereldrijk uit elkaar.

È l'estate del 1937 e la famiglia Cazalet si appresta a riunirsi nella dimora di campagna per trascorrervi le vacanze. È un mondo dalle atmosfere d'altri tempi, quello dei Cazalet, dove tutto avviene secondo rituali precisi e codici che il tempo ha reso immutabili, dove i domestici servono il tè a letto al mattino, e a cena si va in abito da sera. Ma sotto la rigida morale vittoriana, incarnata appieno dai due capostipiti affettuosamente soprannominati il Generale e la Duchessa, si avverte che qualcosa sta cominciando a cambiare. Ed ecco svelata, come attraverso un microscopio, la verità sulle dinamiche di coppia fra i figli e le relative consorti. L'affascinante Edward si concede svariate amanti mentre la moglie Villy si lacera nel sospetto e nella noia; Hugh, che porta ancora i segni della grande guerra, forma con la moglie Sybil una coppia perfetta, salvo il fatto che non abbiano idea l'uno dei desideri dell'altra; Rupert, pittore mancato e vedovo, si è risposato con Zoe, un'attrice bellissima e frivola che fatica a calarsi nei panni della madre di famiglia; infine Rachel, devota alla cura dei genitori, che non si è mai sposata per un motivo ben preciso. E poi ci sono i nipoti, descritti mirabilmente nei loro giochi, nelle loro gelosie e nei loro sogni, in modo sottile e mai condiscendente, dalle ingenuità infantili alle inquietudini adolescenziali. Ma c'è anche il mondo fuori...

Het zijn de lange, donkere jaren van de oorlog, met voedselschaarste, de constante dreiging vanuit de lucht, berichten van gesneuvelde vrienden en geliefden. De chaos op het wereldtoneel wordt weerspiegeld in de turbulente privélevens van de Cazalets. Tot ieders verbazing stort de eigenzinnige Louise zich in een ongelukkig huwelijk met de veel oudere, ambitieuze Michael. Polly moet wennen aan het leven na de dood van haar geliefde moeder. Zoë begint een affaire met een getroebleerde Amerikaan. Terwijl Clary probeert de hoop levend te houden dat haar vader ooit ongedeerd uit Frankrijk terug zal keren.

È l'estate del 1937 e la famiglia Cazalet si riunisce nella dimora di campagna per le vacanze. In questo mondo d'altri tempi, tutto avviene secondo rituali immutabili, con domestici che servono il tè a letto e cene in abito da sera. Tuttavia, sotto la rigida morale vittoriana dei capostipiti, il Generale e la Duchessa, si avverte un cambiamento. Le dinamiche di coppia tra i figli e le loro consorti si svelano: Edward ha numerose amanti, mentre Villy vive nel sospetto e nella noia; Hugh, segnato dalla guerra, e Sybil formano una coppia perfetta, ma ignari dei desideri reciproci; Rupert, vedovo e pittore mancato, si è risposato con Zoe, un'attrice che fatica a essere madre; infine, Rachel, devota ai genitori, non si è mai sposata per un motivo ben preciso. I nipoti, descritti nei loro giochi e sogni, vivono le loro ingenuità infantili e inquietudini adolescenziali. Intanto, il mondo esterno si fa sentire, e la vita dei Cazalet si intreccia con le tensioni di un paese sull'orlo di una crisi epocale. Le vicende private si complicano, mentre si mormora di una minaccia crescente dal continente: la seconda guerra mondiale è alle porte. La prosa di Elizabeth Jane Howard, con il suo sguardo acuto e ironico, ci guida attraverso queste pagine, lasciandoci desiderosi di proseguire nella saga.

Henry, un uomo di oltre sessant'anni, vive sulla barca di amici e ha avuto un'esistenza segnata dalla sfortuna e dalla crudeltà femminile. Nonostante la sua solitudine e le difficoltà economiche, conserva un certo fascino. Daisy, una drammaturga di successo, ha anch'essa superato i sessant'anni e vive in un cottage di campagna, riflettendo sul vuoto affettivo che nessun uomo potrà più colmare, pur desiderando ancora di essere amata. Quando Henry si offre come giardiniere, Daisy inizialmente è scettica, ma la sua necessità di affetto la porta ad accoglierlo nella sua vita. La tensione sessuale tra i due cresce lentamente, tanto che Daisy perde di vista la vera natura di Henry, ignorando gli avvertimenti di amici e figlia, che esprimono preoccupazione. In questo romanzo, l'autrice della saga dei Cazalet condivide una tragica esperienza personale, rivelandosi con sincerità e umiltà. "Perdersi" è un ritratto di un plagio psicologico e un profondo scavo nella mente malata, offrendo una testimonianza preziosa e confermando il suo straordinario talento narrativo.

De nadagen van het victoriaanse Engeland en de eerste onzekere jaren na het einde van de oorlog vormen de achtergrond van de vierdelige 'Cazalet-kronieken' van Elizabeth Jane Howard, die de periode 1937-1947 omspannen. Deel 1, 'Lichte jaren', begint eind jaren dertig, in de laatste gouden jaren voor het uitbreken van de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In de zomermaanden komen drie generaties van de familie Cazalet bij elkaar op hun familielandgoed vlak buiten Londen. Ze vullen hun dagen met kinderspelletjes in het bos, picknicken op het strand, gin-tonics in de tuin, feestmalen in de eetkamer. Het is een zonovergoten, onbekommerde tijd - maar onder de idyllische oppervlakte broeien er affaires en gefnuikte ambities; en de oorlog werpt zijn schaduw vooruit.
