Three Novels by Françoise Sagan
Requirements: ePub Reader, Mobi Reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: Françoise Sagan (Françoise Quoirez, France, 1935 - 2004) grew up in a French, Catholic, bourgeois family. She was an independent thinker and avid reader as a young girl, and upon failing her examinations for continuing at the Sorbonne, she became a writer. She went to her family's home in the south of France and wrote her first novel, Bonjour Tristesse, at age 18. She submitted it to Editions Juillard in January 1954 and it was published that March. Later that year, She won the Prix des Critiques for Bonjour Tristesse.
She chose "Sagan" as her pen name because she liked the sound of it and also liked the reference to the Prince and Princesse de Sagan, 19th century Parisians, who are said to be the basis of some of Marcel Proust's characters. She was known for her love of drinking, gambling, and fast driving. Her habit of driving fast was moderated after a serious car accident in 1957 involving her Aston Martin while she was living in Milly, France.
She won the Prix de Monaco in 1984 in recognition of all of her work.
Genre: Literary Fiction
Bonjour Tristesse (1954): Set against the translucent beauty of France in summer, Bonjour Tristesse is a bittersweet tale narrated by Cécile, a seventeen-year-old girl on the brink of womanhood, whose meddling in her father's love life leads to tragic consequences.
Freed from boarding school, Cécile lives in unchecked enjoyment with her youngish, widowed father—an affectionate rogue, dissolute and promiscuous. Having accepted the constantly changing women in his life, Cécile pursues a sexual conquest of her own with a "tall and almost beautiful" law student. Then, a new woman appears in her father's life. Feeling threatened but empowered, Cécile sets in motion a devastating plan that claims a surprising victim.
Deceptively simple in structure, Bonjour Tristesse is a complex and beautifully composed portrait of casual amorality and a young woman's desperate attempt to understand and control the world around her.
Aimez-vous Brahms (1957): The plot concerns a middle-aged woman who leaves her long-standing lover for a relationship with a younger man. Paula Tessier is a successful Parisian interior decorator and Roger Demarest her roving-eye lover. Worried that she'll be left in the lurch by the unfaithful Demarest, she enters into an affair with the much-younger Philip Van Der Besh. Once he realizes that he's lost Paula to Philip, Roger offers to mend his rakish ways. She takes him back, and they are married; soon afterward, however, Roger goes back to his old skirt-chasing habits.
The novel was made into a film under the title Goodbye Again in 1961 starring Ingrid Bergman, Yves Montand and Anthony Perkins.
La Chamade (1966): Set in high-society Paris in the mid-1960’s, La Chamade recounts the emotional battle unleashed in the heart of Lucile, a sensitive but rootless young woman who finds herself caught between her carefree, tranquil love for 50-year-old Charles, a gentle, reflective, and well-off businessman, and her sudden wild passion for 30-year-old Antoine, a hot-blooded, impulsive, and struggling editor. As Lucile explores these two versions of love, she vacillates in confusion, but in the end she must choose, and her heart’s instinct is surprising and poignant.
La Chamade is one of a series of slim, elegant novels Sagan wrote about passion, its birth and death.
