Il ballo es una novela corta de la escritora francesa Irène Némirovsky, publicada en 1930. La historia se centra en Antoinette Kampf, una joven que se siente avergonzada por la riqueza de su familia y su ascenso social. Sus padres, recién enriquecidos, organizan un baile de gala para integrarse en la alta sociedad parisina. Antoinette, resentida por la superficialidad y el esnobismo de sus padres, decide vengarse excluyendo a algunos invitados, lo que desencadena una serie de consecuencias inesperadas. La novela explora temas como la clase social, la identidad, la venganza y la alienación, con el estilo incisivo y la aguda observación psicológica característicos de Némirovsky.
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.
