Un agudo relato de Irène Némirovsky, cuya obra fue acogida con entusiasmo no sólo en Francia: The New York Times la consideró en su día «la sucesora de Dostoievsky».
Gladys Eysenach es acusada del asesinato de su presunto amante, un joven estudiante de apenas veinte años, y el caso levanta una enorme expectación en París. Madura y excepcionalmente bella para su edad, Gladys pertenece a esa alta sociedad apátrida que recorre Europa de fiesta en fiesta. Envidiada por las mujeres y deseada por los hombres, su vida se airea impúdicamente frente al juez: su infancia, el exilio, la ausencia del padre, su matrimonio, las difíciles relaciones con su hija, su fama de femme fatale, su fijación con la belleza y la juventud... El público, impaciente por conocer cada sórdido detalle, no comprende que la rica y envidiada Gladys, comprometida con un apuesto conde italiano, haya perdido la cabeza por un joven anodino, casi un niño. ¿Quién era la víctima: un amante despechado, un delincuente de poca monta o quizá el testigo incómodo de un secreto inconfesable? ¿Y por qué la acusada insiste en mostrarse culpable y exigir para sí misma un ejemplar castigo?
La crítica ha dicho...
«Un libro cristalino, feroz y prodigiosamente visionario en su tema central: el deseo de la eterna juventud.»
La Repubblica
«Un agudísimo retrato femenino, en el que Némirovsky plasma el desagrado que le inspiraba su propia madre, una mujer fría y narcisista.»
Panorama
«De ritmo veloz y gran dramatismo, nos permite vislumbrar un mundo de privilegios, riqueza y combate social darwinista en el periodo de entreguerras.»
New Statesman

About the Author
Irène Némirovsky nació en Kiev en 1903 en el seno de una familia acaudalada que huyó de la revolución bolchevique para establecerse en París en 1919. Hija única, Irène recibió una educación exquisita, aunque padeció una infancia infeliz y solitaria. Años antes de obtener la licenciatura en Letras por la Sorbona, su precoz carrera literaria se inicia en 1921 con la publicación del texto Nonoche chez l'extralucide en la revista bimensual Fantasio. Pero su salto a la fama se produce en 1929 con su segunda novela, David Golder, la primera que vio la luz en forma de libro. Fue el inicio de una deslumbrante trayectoria que consagraría a Némirovsky como una de las escritoras de mayor prestigio de Francia, elogiada por personajes de la talla de Jean Cocteau, Paul Morand, Robert Brasillach y Joseph Kessel. Sin embargo, la Segunda Guerra Mundial marcó trágicamente su destino. Denegada en varias ocasiones por el régimen de Vichy su solicitud de nacionalidad francesa, Némirovsky fue deportada y murió asesinada en Auschwitz en 1942, igual que su marido, Michel Epstein. Sesenta años más tarde, el azar quiso que Irène Némirovsky regresara al primer plano de la actualidad literaria con el enorme éxito de Suite francesa, su obra cumbre, descubierta casualmente por sus hijas, publicada en 2004 y galardonada a título póstumo con el premio Renaudot, entre otras muchas distinciones. Las novelas de Irène Némirovsky, publicadas en español por Salamandra, han sido traducidas a treinta y nueve idiomas.
