Witaj, Smutku

Rate this book
Beztroskie lato na francuskiej Riwierze i znudzona siedemnastolatka, w której przyjazd kochanki ojca aktywuje wybuchową mieszankę splątanych emocji. Cécile zaczyna igrać z uczuciami, manipuluje, romansuje, a knucie intryg pochłania ją tak bardzo, że traci kontrolę nad przebiegiem zdarzeń.
Uznana za głos kiełkującego feminizmu, skandaliczna powieść napisana przez nikomu nieznaną nastolatkę pod nazwiskiem pożyczonym od Prousta zrobiła oszołamiającą karierę na całym świecie, a Françoise Sagan stała się najpopularniejszą autorką francuską drugiej połowy XX wieku.
Książka w nowym tłumaczeniu Adriany Celińskiej.

Budząca apetyt na więcej, doskonała opowieść o pragnieniu intensywnego, pełnego pasji życia. Pożądanie, witalność i wolność wyboru własnej drogi w środku gorącego lata. Ta powieść
przypomni nam o tym, skąd brać pewność, że się żyje.

Françoise Sagan

251 books1,675 followers
Born Françoise Quoirez, Sagan grew up in a French Catholic, bourgeois family. She was an independent thinker and avid reader as a young girl, and upon failing her examinations for continuing at the Sorbonne, she became a writer.

She went to her family's home in the south of France and wrote her first novel, Bonjour Tristesse, at age 18. She submitted it to Editions Juillard in January 1954 and it was published that March. Later that year, She won the Prix des Critiques for Bonjour Tristesse.

She chose "Sagan" as her pen name because she liked the sound of it and also liked the reference to the Prince and Princesse de Sagan, 19th century Parisians, who are said to be the basis of some of Marcel Proust's characters.

She was known for her love of drinking, gambling, and fast driving. Her habit of driving fast was moderated after a serious car accident in 1957 involving her Aston Martin while she was living in Milly, France.

Sagan was twice married and divorced, and subsequently maintained several long-term lesbian relationships. First married in 1958 to Guy Schoeller, a publisher, they divorced in 1960, and she was then married to Robert James Westhoff, an American ceramicist and sculptor, from 1962 to 63. She had one son, Denis, from her second marriage.

She won the Prix de Monaco in 1984 in recognition of all of her work.
