“When we are happy, everyone around us seems to us, albeit secondary, but accomplices of our happiness”

Francoise Sagan was called Mademoiselle Chanel of Literature. Starting from the very first novel, Hello, Sadness! (1954), which made a lot of noise, her literary career developed brilliantly, she created book after book with amazing ease, they were translated into various languages ​​and they scattered around the world in millions of copies.
Françoise Sagan's novel "The Signal of Surrender" (1965) is the story of a woman who brings love for the sake of life's comfort. The melody of love still sounds, but the heroine of the novel is already hearing a signal of surrender - a drum roll foreshadowing defeat ... Alas, in a collision with real life, the dream is doomed from the first moment - and, nevertheless, it is beautiful. The plot of the novel is used as a literary basis for 1968 film starring Catherine Deneuve and Michel Piccoli.
Francoise Sagan is true to herself: her prose - transparent, graceful, devoid of pose - brings joy to all new generations of readers.
