The Kampfs, a family of nouveau riche settled in a luxurious Parisian apartment, have everything money can buy, but they lack what they crave most: the recognition of French high society. Eager to win her admiration, the couple prepares a big ball that Mrs. Kampf forbids her daughter, Antoniette, to attend, to which the young teenager decides to take revenge. The Dance is a masterful work in which Némirovsky makes an exquisite portrait of the difficult relationship of a mother and her daughter, of social ambition, hypocrisy and the arduous road to adulthood. A small jewel of universal literature.

About the Author
Irene Nemirovsky nació en Kiev, con el nombre de Irina Lvivna Nemirovska. A raíz de la Revolución rusa, la familia tuvo que exiliarse a Francia. Tras graduarse en la Sorbona, Irène comenzó su carrera literaria. "El baile" (1930), que contiene muchos elementos autobiográficos, fue su mayor éxito en vida. Deportados al campo de concentración de Auschwitz, Irène falleció de tifus y su marido murió gaseado. Aún habrían de pasar cincuenta años para que sus hijas descubrieran "Suite francesa", acaso su obra más representativa y estremecedora.
Bea Lozano was born in Salamanca in 1986, where she currently lives and works. She studied illustration at the Escola Massana in Barcelona and participated in the Xavier Nogués seminar on experimental printing and in the Meta-Mática workshop on desktop publishing and printing with movable type at L'Automàtica. In 2018 she published her first book "Above walnut trees below brambles" with the Incendi publishing house, which was awarded two Junceda prizes. Since then she has illustrated and collaborated on other titles. Her work has been selected at festivals such as Iberoamérica Ilustra, 2018, Ilustrarte, 2020 or Nami Concours, 2021.
Irene Nemirovsky was born in Kiev, with the name Irina Lvivna Nemirovska. As a result of the Russian Revolution, the family had to go into exile in France. After graduating from the Sorbonne, Irène began her literary career. "The Dance" (1930), which contains many autobiographical elements, was her greatest success in life. Deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp, Irène died of typhus and her husband died of gassing. It would still be fifty years before her daughters discovered "Suite française", perhaps her most representative and shocking work.
