Summary
Jacques de Lacretelle: Silbermann
It is the 1920s, a new generation of students arrives at an elite, predominantly Catholic, French school for young men. Among them is David Silbermann. He is not the only Jew in that school, but with his physical appearance, as well as his knowledge of the French literary tradition, he stands out and draws the angry attention of the hormone-driven crowd. He is supported only by a nameless narrator. But will he persevere in his noble endeavor to the end or turn from savior to traitor? Although it dates from 1922, Jean de Lacretelle's short novel still exudes an unfortunate topicality a hundred years after its publication. By portraying reality on multiple levels, it foregrounds the French anti-Semitism of the time, but under the surface it deals with the attitude towards all differences and the related traps of conformity into which even the most benevolent among us are (too) easily caught. This is the first presentation of Roman Silbermann, awarded the Prix Femina in 1923, to Croatian readers.
