Irène Némirovsky,
"Sometimes I feel I am a stranger"

October 13, 2010 - March 8, 2011 >

Born in 1903, Irène Némirovsky was fifteen when the revolutionary troubles drove her family from Russia. It was in Paris at the age of eighteen that she published her first stories. In 1929, a ruthless and controversial novel, immediately brought to the screen made her reputation: David Golder. A dozen novels followed, dictated by family inheritance, the memory of being Russian, the strangeness of being Jewish, the feeling of being French, the anguish of being stateless, then by the obligation of making a living despite the laws of Vichy.
This exhibition will be displayed in french only.
