Klappentext zu „Suite Française “
A major publishing event; the first paperback publication of a lost masterpiece written in France in 1941, telling the story of a group of characters living under the Nazi occupation. The author died in Auschwitz in 1942, and was awarded the prestigious Prix Renaudot in 2005 - the first time that the prize has been awarded posthumously. 'A book of exceptional literary quality, it has the kind of intimacy found in the diary of Anne Frank' "TLS". 'One of those rare books that demands to be read' Helen Dunmore "Guardian". An audio edition is also published this month.Autoren-Porträt von Irène Némirovsky
Irène Némirovsky was born in Kiev in 1903, the daughter of a successful Jewish banker. In 1918 her family fled the Russian Revolution for France where she became a bestselling novelist, author of David Golder, All Our Worldly Goods, The Dogs and the Wolves and other works published in her lifetime or soon after, such as the posthumously published Suite Française and Fire in the Blood. She was prevented from publishing when the Germans occupied France and moved with her husband and two small daughters from Paris to the safety of the small village of Issy-l'Evêque (in German occupied territory). It was here that Irène began writing Suite Française. She died in Auschwitz in 1942.

Rezension zu „Suite Française “
"An irresistible work. Suite Francaise clutches the heart" -- Carmen Callil The Times "It is quite outstanding, full of beauty, pain and truth... We are lucky to have this book" -- Anne Chisholm Sunday Telegraph "The facts surrounding the discovery of this book are as remarkable as its contents are magnificent... A triumph of indomitability and a masterwork of literary accomplishment" Sunday Times "Deftly translated by Sandra Smith, this is possibly the most devastating indictment of French manners and morals since Madame Bovary, as hypnotic as Proust at the biscuit tin, as gruelling as Genet on the prowl. Irene Nemirovsky is, on this evidence, a novelist of the very first order, perceptive to a fault and sly in her emotional restraint" Evening Standard "An heroic attempt to write a novel about a nightmare in which the author is entirely embedded" -- Anita Brookner Spectator
