Between History And Life

The word "historicity" is used to express that an event has actually occurrrd and is not simply a legendary tradition. In this sense, there is a strong historicity in French writer of Russian origin Irene Nemirovsky. This historicity comes primarily from her personal experience. Her destiny is closely linked with history, which is a very important theme throughout her work. We have seen the historic scenes through her fictional narration, such as the Russian Revolution in les Mouches d’automne, The Great Depression in la Proie, and World War II in Suite frangaise.The thesis attempts to treat Tempete en juin (the first part of Suite fran,caise) as a rare and rich example of a literary text that depicts with nuance and detail the defeat and exodus of May-June1940and the attitudes of French from different social strata. To understand the historicity and humanity of the work, we must first return to the text and make a careful textual analysis of these various elements contributing to an overall perception of this historical period.The memory is divided into three parts:First, we will explore the historicity of Nemirovsky’s writing. The novelist has highlighted the event as a journalist, but with a distance in the face of ideology propagated by the authority at the time and personal suffering immediate. Choosing the novel form to describe the real world, the writer presents the socio-historical reality through her fictional characters and their various perspectives.For the second chapter, we will analyze how the author presents the inextricable link between collective destiny and private lives. Each individual fate forms history, and history imprisons ruthlessly individuals. By adopting the concept and method of the historian Jules Michelet, Nemirovsky makes a picture of the French nation with the tissue of the French people.Finally, we return to human nature. The defeat and exodus belong to human tragedy. It is in showing the catastrophic drama that Nemirovsky demonstrates the complexity of humanity:human suffering and human weakness are the nature of man. Today we remember the history, basically it is to remember and value the lost lives of common people.Rejecting the binary patterns that emphasize either a conquering hero or innocent victims, Nemirovsky is dedicated to making a fresco of the complex history and humanity, to save from oblivion, countless lives of those who otherwise would remain anonymous and lost in obscurity, or deliberately silenced out by oppression, and who nevertheless are the real heroes of history.
