Le choix de Sophie

Product detailed description

Three stories are told: a young Southerner wants to become a writer; a turbulent love-hate affair between a brilliant Jew and a beautiful Polish woman; and of an awful wound in that woman's past--one that impels both Sophie and Nathan toward destruction.

In Sophia's Choice William Styron attempts an in-depth analysis of Nazism, its pernicious effect on the average weak or perhaps only averagely strong human individual and shows Nazism in personal perspectives. Therefore, he chooses a heroine who is absurd in her inconspicuousness and her innocence towards the ideals of Nazism.
