Le Pont Invisible - The Invisible Bridge - French Edition
Author: Julie Orringer, Josee Kamoun (Translator)

András Lévi, juif d’origine hongroise, a quitté ses parents et ses frères afin de poursuivre ses études d’architecture à Paris. Il se prend rapidement au jeu de la vie parisienne : il se lie d’amitié avec Rosen, Polaner et Ben Yakov puis tombe amoureux de Klára, une femme ... more »de neuf ans son aînée. Mais l’euphorie ne dure qu’un temps, car nous sommes en 1937 et l’Europe s’apprête à basculer dans la terreur.

Rosen projette d’émigrer en Palestine, Ben Yakov souhaite rejoindre ses parents à Rouen et Polaner intègre la légion étrangère. András doit retourner à Budapest, accompagné de Klára. Tous deux pensent avoir échappé à l’antisémitisme. Mais ce n’est que le début d’un périple marqué par la violence, la souffrance et la peur. Dans ce texte magistral, Julie Orringer recrée l’Europe des années 1940, les destins individuels dévastés par l’irruption de la guerre.

Des rues de Paris aux camps de travail ukrainiens, Le Pont invisible reconstitue à travers l’histoire d’une poignée d’exilés le désastre intime et politique du totalitarisme.

Paris, 1937. Andras Lévi, a Hungarian-Jewish architecture student, arrives from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he has promised to deliver to C. Morgenstern on the rue de Sauvigne. As he falls into a complicated relationship with the letter's recipient, he becomes privy to a secret history that will alter the course of his own life. Meanwhile, as his elder brother takes up medical studies in Modena and their younger brother leaves school for the stage, Europe's unfolding tragedy sends each of their lives into terrifying uncertainty. At the end of Andras's second summer in Paris, all of Europe erupts in a cataclysm of war.

From the small Hungarian town of Konyar to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the lonely chill of Andras's room on the rue des Ecoles to the deep and enduring connection he discovers on the rue de Sauvigne, from the despair of Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in forced labor camps and beyond, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a love tested by disaster, of brothers whose bonds cannot be broken, of a family shattered and remade in history's darkest hour, and of the dangerous power of art in a time of war.
