Description

“Hello, Sadness” is the novel that launched the early and rapid creative path of the great Françoise Sagan—and, as it did half a century ago, it still circulates in huge print runs and lights the hearts of millions of readers around the world. The unprecedented success of this novel brought Françoise Sagan a prestigious Critics’ literary prize and worldwide fame and wealth. According to the writer herself, “this sincere and candid book is equally infused with sensuality and purity—the explosive mix that still excites people today just as it did yesterday. It carries the air of effortless naturalness and that completely unconscious life energy that departing childhood gifts us with.”

Tormented by a thirst for genuine feeling, Françoise Sagan’s characters experience moments of magical insight and aching pain; they get carried away, then disappointed, they doubt—and… they believe without reserve.
