Irène Némirovsky “I sometimes feel like a foreigner”

Born in 1903, Irène Némirovsky is fifteen years old when the revolutionary troubles drive her and her family out of Russia. It was in Paris, at the age of eighteen, that she published her first tales. A month later, an implacable novel, immediately translated worldwide and brought to the screen, made his fame: David Golder.

Impossible to reduce the novelist to the posthumous and universal success of Suite française, cruel and funny chronicle of the Exodus and the Occupation, but also expression of a reluctance to "live, think, love with others, according to a state, a country, a party".
