Утраченный мир

Patrick Modiano (1947) is one of the youngest living classics of French literature. Critics liken his graceful prose to a 'flute song in a nostalgic vein'. Of the fifteen works by Modiano, only a few are known in our country, including the famous `Street of Dark Shops` (Goncourt Prize 1978) and `The Lost World` included in this collection. For the first time translated into Russian stories `Villa `Sadness`` and `Honeymoon Journey`. Heroes of Modiano, eluding reality, live in a `world overturned into the past` and struggle to unravel its mysteries. Almost all works contain finely defined detective intrigue.
