En 'El ball', Irène Némirovsky nos presenta a la familia Kampf, quienes, tras ascender repentinamente de la pobreza a la opulencia, deciden organizar un gran baile. Antoinette, la hija de catorce años, anhela asistir, pero su madre se niega a presentarla en sociedad. Este rechazo desencadena una terrible venganza por parte de Antoinette, revelando las verdaderas caras de todos los involucrados. La novela es una obra maestra que explora la infancia y sus tormentos con una prosa fulgurante e iniciática.

Irène Némirovsky was a novelist of Ukrainian Jewish origin who was born in Kiev, then in the Russian Empire. She lived more than half her life in France and wrote in French, but was denied French nationality. Arrested as a Jew under the racial laws – which did not take into account her conversion to Roman Catholicism – she died in Auschwitz at the age of 39. Némirovsky is best known for the posthumously published Suite française.
