«L'Autre» is the novel by Julien Green, published by Distribooks Inc in paperback (352 pages, in French).
In Copenhagen, on the eve of the Second World War, Roger and Karin share a brief, intense love that leads her to abandon her faith. Ten years later, Roger returns and finds Karin ostracized by her neighbors because of her involvement with German soldiers. The novel explores loss, identity, and that «other» we love and who slips away from us.
Julien Green, an American writer, first published this novel in 1971; this edition belongs to the Le Livre de Poche collection.
A work for those interested in French literature and love stories marked by war.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
