Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. In Paris's exclusive Saint-Germain neighborhood is a mansion. In that mansion lives a family. Deep in that mansion. The Bolts are that family, and they have secrets. The Safe House tells their story. When the Nazis came,etienne Boltanski divorced his wife and walked out the front door, never to be seen again during the war. So far as the outside world knew, the Jewish doctor had fled. The truth was that he had sneaked back to hide in a secret crawl space at the heart of the house. There he lived for the duration of the war. With the Liberation,etienne finally emerged, but he and his family were changed forever anxious, reclusive, yet proudly eccentric. Their lives were spent, amid Bohemian disarray and lingering wartime fears, in the mansion's recesses or packed comically into the protective cocoon of a Fiat. That house (and its vehicular appendage) are at the heart of Christophe Boltanski's ingeniously structured, lightly fictionalized account of his grandparents and their extended family. The novel unfolds room by room each chapter opening with a floorplan introducing us to the characters who occupy each room, including the narrator's grandmother--a woman of "savage appetites"--and his uncle Christian, whose haunted artworks would one day make him famous. "The house was a palace," Boltanski writes, "and they lived like hobos." Rejecting convention as they'd rejected the outside world, the family never celebrated birthdays, or even marked the passage of time, living instead in permanent stasis, ever more closely bonded to the house itself. The Safe House was a literary sensation when published in France in 2015 and won the Prix de Prix, France's most prestigious book prize. With hints of Oulipian playfulness and an atmosphere of dark humor, The Safe House is an unforgettable portrait of a self-imprisoned family.…

Condizione: Good. Rights sold to Germany (Hanser)What's the trade secret of one very different family? In short: weird and wonderful. Who wouldn't want to know? This is the family of the visual artist Christian Boltanski, one of the most famous artists in the world, of the sociologist Luc Boltanski, and of the author himself who carries in him the traces of his heritage: an obsession with privacy and a preference for confinement. First and foremost, this is the story of one man, his grandfather, a Jewish doctor who hid in his home in the heart of Paris during World War 2. In this in-between space carved out of the apartment's walls, you could neither stand up nor lie down. It went on for two years. He wouldn't have survived without the iron will and leadership of his wife, Mother-Grand, a novelist who had had polio as a child. The Bolthole is the story of a family with a hard and eccentric sort of cheerfulness (no point going to school because the teachers are torturers with degrees), and a reinvented sense of freedom (the children build towns that encroach on the whole apartment, and dream up a republic crippled by endless coups).As you venture into successive rooms of the Rue-de-Grenelle, you meet one character after another and the mystery of the Bolts is unveiled. Christophe Boltanski is a special correspondent for L'Observateur. The Bolthole is his first novel.A magnificent Perec-like book. Nouvel ObsThe incarnate portrait of the Boltanski family, both peculiar and fascinating. Livres HebdoSubtle and precise. Liberation. …
