Los Kampf, una familia de nuevos ricos instalados en un lujoso piso parisino, tienen todo lo que el dinero puede comprar, pero les falta lo que más anhelan: el reconocimiento de la alta sociedad francesa. Deseosos de ganarse su admiración, el matrimonio prepara un gran baile al que la señora Kampf prohíbe asistir a su hija, Antoniette, ante lo cual la joven adolescente decide vengarse. El baile es una obra magistral en la que Némirovsky nos hace un retrato exquisito de la difícil relación de una madre y su hija, de la ambición social, la hipocresía y del arduo camino hacia la edad adulta. Una pequeña joya de la literatura universal.
The Kampfs, a family of nouveau riche settled in a luxurious Parisian apartment, have everything money can buy, but they lack what they crave most: the recognition of French high society. Eager to win her admiration, the couple prepares a big ball that Mrs. Kampf forbids her daughter, Antoniette, to attend, to which the young teenager decides to take revenge. The Dance is a masterful work in which Némirovsky makes an exquisite portrait of the difficult relationship of a mother and her daughter, of social ambition, hypocrisy and the arduous road to adulthood. A small jewel of universal literature.
