Dreamers of Broadway. Volume 2. Dance with Fred Aster. FERJUKH M.

The second volume of the novel “Dreamers of Broadway”-and again immersion in a marvelous New York!

A city that seemed a dream. A city, promising a fairy tale. The city with which you expect - exactly as with the heroes of the beloved novel.

Joslin left his native France to find himself here - on Broadway, of course, in the very heart of musical life. He had just been seventeen, and every new day gave hope - but now, on the threshold of adulthood, Joslin feels something else. What is this - disappointment? The crash of plans? Falling from heaven to earth? There are no at all: new dreams are replaced by new ones, and with them the experience.

In the second part of the “Dreamers” the action accelerates and circles in the same crazy rhythm, but this music against the background is no longer sweet Christmas Ballads, and cool jazz. Enchanting - and so real. Like Jocelin, Girls from the Djibule boarding house grow up and step by step go to their true “I” step. The dancer Manhattan is selected for unraveling a long-standing secret, the saleswoman Hadley successfully digs in the past, the chic model is looking for a profitable party, and actress Page-that is the only one. New York of the late 1940s will help them all-though not at all, they are waiting for it.

French writer Malik Ferejukh (born in 1957) is the author of dozens of popular novels for children and adolescents, laureate The prestigious Prize “Prix Sorcieres”.

She used to study the history of cinema, and the atmosphere of Hollywood classics can easily feel on the pages of her books: the trilogy “Dreamers of Broadway” is dynamic as “Singing in the rain”, unpredictable, unpredictable, unpredictable Like Sanset Boulevard, and optimistic, as “only girls in jazz.”

The excellent translation of Nina Khotinskaya retained the rhythm and the style of the original in Russian. The time with this book will fly faster than the dance of Fred Aster!
