Sagan, Paris 1954
Before Françoise Sagan the literary icon there was Françoise Quoirez, an eighteen-year-old Parisian girl, who wrote a novel and needed a publisher for it.
Bonjour Tristesse. Franoise Sagan
Endearing, self-absorbed, seventeen-year-old Cécile is the very essence of untroubled amorality. Freed from the stifling constraints of boarding school, she joins her father—a handsome, still-young widower with a wandering eye—for a carefree, two-month summer vacation in a beautiful villa outside of Paris with his latest mistress, Elsa. Cécile cherishes the free-spirited moments she and her father share, while plotting her own sexual adventures with a "tall and almost beautiful" law student. But the arrival of her late mother's best friend, Anne, intrudes upon a young girl's pleasures. And when a relationship begins to develop between the adults, Cécile and her lover set in motion a plan to keep them apart...with tragic, unexpected consequences.
De wanhoopige Britten, en de vernoegde Americanen, op de tyding van diffensive alliantie, onbepaalt convoy, en gewapende neutraliteit!
The treaty between Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, and the Netherlands was made for their mutual protection against Great Britain's claim to search any neutral vessel for contraband of war destined for the French and the Americans. The various figures represent the contending powers with sundry Dutch shippers and traders. The United States is represented by an American Indian, Great Britain by George III.

Sagan 1954
1954. Françoise Sagan est une jeune fille de dix-huit ans comme les autres, ou presque. Le 15 mars, l’éditeur René Julliard publie le premier roman de Françoise Quoirez, dite Sagan, Bonjour tristesse, et tout change. Françoise devient riche et célèbre, noctambule et légendaire, culte et pourchassée. 2014. Romancière, Anne Berest se revêt « de la vie de Françoise pour oublier la sienne », et tisse sa jeune existence enlacée à celle de son aînée. Nous avons alors tout à la fois un roman, une biographie et une autofiction où, sous la plume merveilleuse d’Anne Berest, les vies de ces deux jeunes femmes n’en font plus qu’une. Et surtout, dans le miroir que vous tend le passé, le mythe Sagan rencontre l’éternelle jeunesse.
