A woman in makeup. Sagan F.

Mademoiselle Chanel from literature, French Salinger and Fitzgerald, a scandalous star, a gambling player, life -burner and subtle psychologist; Francoise Sagan, who thundered with his first novel "Hello, sadness!" (1954), an invariably fresh voice, speaking with crystal honesty that living people think and feel. Books of Sagan were translated into dozens of languages, they are read and re -read millions of people around the world and fascinating filmmakers. “Woman in make -up” (1981), according to Sagan herself, is “the most interesting and unlike my works” Roman, a brilliant and sad comedy of morals, an elegant story about rich bored people who went on a trip, which initially did not promise hard. On board the Narcissus liner during a musical cruise, under opera arias and clapping of champagne traffic jams, they observe one another, acutely and optionally spend time, but love is born, deception happens, and drama, of course, is inevitable.
