Broadway Dreamers: Volume 2: Dance with Fred Astaire
29.99 €
The second volume of "Broadway Dreamers"—and once again, a journey into wondrous New York!
A city that seemed like a dream. A city that promised a fairy tale. A city you look forward to meeting—just like the heroes of your beloved novel.
Jocelyn left his native France to find himself here—on Broadway, of course, in the heart of the musical world. Just seventeen years old, and every new day brought hope—but now, on the threshold of adulthood, Jocelyn feels something different. Is this disappointment? The collapse of plans? A fall from grace? Not at all: old dreams are replaced by new ones, and with them, experience.
In the second part of "The Dreamers," the action accelerates and swirls to the same crazy rhythm, but the background music is no longer sweet Christmas ballads, but cool jazz. Enchanting—and so real. Like Jocelyn, the girls from the Gibouleh boarding school are growing up and, step by step, finding their true selves. Dancer Manhattan is getting closer to solving a long-held secret, shop assistant Hadley is successfully delving into the past, fashion model Chic is searching for a good match, and actress Paige is looking for The One. New York in the late 1940s will help them all—though not in the way they expect.
French writer Malika Ferjoukh (born 1957) is the author of dozens of popular novels for children and young adults and a winner of the prestigious Prix Sorcières.
She previously studied film history, and the atmosphere of Hollywood classics is easily felt in the pages of her books: the "Broadway Dreamers" trilogy is dynamic like "Singing in the Rain," unpredictable like "Sunset Boulevard," and optimistic like "Some Like It Hot."
Nina Khotinskaya's superb translation has preserved the rhythm and style of the original in Russian. With this book, time will fly by faster than Fred Astaire's dance!
