Bonjour Tristesse And A Certain Smile

Sylish, shimmering and amoral, Sagan's tale of adolescence and betrayal on the French Riviera was her masterpiece, published when she was just eighteen. However, this frank and explicit novella was considered too daring for 1950s Britain, and sexual scenes were removed for the English publication. Now this fresh and accurate new translation presents the uncensored text in full for the first time.

Bonjour Tristesse tells the story of Cécile, who leads a carefree life with her widowed father and his young mistresses until, one hot summer on the Riviera, he decides to remarry - with devastating consequences. In A Certain Smile, which is also included in this volume, Dominique, a young woman bored with her lover, begins an encounter with an older man that unfolds in unexpected and troubling ways.

Both novellas have been freshly translated by Heather Lloyd and include an introduction by Rachel Cusk. Heather Lloyd has also written a new afterword for this edition.

Françoise Sagan was born in France in 1935. Bonjour tristesse (1954), published when she was just 19, became a succès de scandale and even earned its author a papal denunciation. Sagan went on to write many other novels, plays and screenplays, and died in 2004.

Heather Lloyd was previously Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Glasgow, and has published work on both Bonjour tristesse and Françoise Sagan.

Rachel Cusk is the author of Saving Agnes (1993), which won the Whitbread First Novel Award; A Life's Work: On Becoming a Mother (2001); and Arlington Park (2006), shortlisted for the 2007 Orange Prize for Fiction. Her most recent book is Aftermath: On Marriage and Separation (2012).

Smells Great - Works Great
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Perfect size for our Disney go bag. We typically go to Disney in the afternoons and evenings so we don't need a full size sunscreen with us all the time. I love that this little one can just be there for the random sunny days that we want some added protection. My daughter has very sensitive skin but this did not irritate her one bit.

Very nice smell
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great all aroundsunscreen! My only complaint is that it doesn’t last very long. Probably best to purchase the lotion, if you want to save money.

Love this Sunscreen!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this sunscreen! Just used the whole bottle in 4 days at the beach between my daughter and myself though. So it doesn’t last long, but smells great and works great! We didn’t get burnt, and got a great tan! Ordering another bottle now!
