«Jezabel» is the novel by Irène Némirovsky, published by Salamandra in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
Gladys Eysenach, mature and beautiful, is accused of murdering her young lover in interwar Paris. Her life is laid bare before the judge: exile, marriage, a difficult relationship with her daughter, and an obsession with youth. No one understands why, engaged to an Italian count, she pleads guilty and demands exemplary punishment.
The novel was originally published in 1936 as «Jézabel»; this edition belongs to the Salamandra Narrativa collection and features flaps.
For readers of classic and psychological fiction, interested in twentieth-century French literature and portraits of interwar high society.
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.
