Irène Némirovsky "It sometimes seems to me that I am a foreigner"

Born in 1903, Irène Némirovsky was fifteen years old when revolutionary unrest drove her out of Russia with her family. It was in Paris, at eighteen years old, 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».
