«Suite francesa» is the historical novel by Irène Némirovsky, published by Salamandra in paperback, with 480 pages, in Spanish.
It begins in Paris before the German invasion: thousands of families flee along the roads in an exodus of fear, absurdity and survival. It then portrays life under occupation, class tensions, collaborationism and clandestine loves. Autobiographical and realist in tone, it remained unfinished: of five planned parts, only two survive.
Originally published in 2004, it received the Renaudot Prize that year. This Spanish edition, in the Salamandra Narrativa collection, features a translation by José Antonio Soriano Marco.
For readers aged 16 and over interested in historical fiction and literary testimonies about the Second World War.
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.
