Manhattan Story

ethan hawke catherine charmant

A quelques encablures de l'adolescence, William balade ses rêves de comédien débutant dans les rues de New York. La ville lui promet tout : lumières, folies, démesures et, surtout, le grand amour. Difficile, quand on a vingt ans, de comprendre les femmes.
Sarah, chanteuse, petite brune vive comme un feu follet, ambitieuse et fragile, va bouleverser la donne. Un instant a suffit pour que ces deux êtres naïfs croient se jurer fidélité à jamais. Ensemble, ils se jettent à coeur perdu dans une relation dévorante.
Pourtant, l'énigmatique Sarah se refuse obstinément à William. Leur complicité suffira-t-elle à dissiper les ombres qui planent sur leur passion? Le jeune homme sait que Paris, la ville des amants, sera leur dernière chance.
Dans ce roman, Ethan Hawke parcourt les étapes émouvantes, faites de sentiments fragiles, d'un premier amour. Il guide pas à pas son héros vers l'âge adulte. Ainsi, une jeunesse sns repères, privée d'enjeux, rejoue-t-elle, à sa façon, l'éternelle story.
Né en 1970, Ethan Hawke a été l'interprète, aux côtés de Robin Williams, du Cercle des poètes disparus (Peter Weir, 1989). Il a incarné auprès d'Uma Thurma, devenue depuis sa femme, le premier rôle de Bienvenue à Gattaca (Andrew Niccol, 1997).
