Autumn Flies the Kurilov Affair (collection of Nemilovsky's Works)
About This Novel
The novel "Autumn Flies" was first released in 1931 and was written based on Nemirovsky's personal experience. The protagonist Tatyana is a loyal and capable servant and a wet nurse for several children of the Kalina family. After the Russian Revolution broke out, the Kalina family began to flee. She stayed behind to look after the house, buried the Kalina family's youngest son Yuri, who died tragically, and traveled thousands of miles to deliver jewelry sewn into clothes to the owner's family. Later, she settled with them in Paris. However, just as the Kalina family began to enjoy their new life, Tatyana's obsession with the old days became increasingly redundant, struggling feebly like a fly in autumn... The killer Leon M received the task of the Revolutionary Committee to eliminate the Minister of National Education Kurilov. He had to wait patiently for nine months and take action to trigger a big reaction when the Prussian Emperor came to visit. As a result, the killer disguised himself as a Swiss doctor and lurked around Kurilov. For nine months, he listened to Kurilov's heartfelt conversations, observed Kurilov's family and staff, and even eavesdropped on their conversations. Can enough understanding offset hatred? Will the complexities of human nature get in the way of the mission? In short, after nine months, Kurorive must die.
