NEMIROVSKY IRENE: (1903-1942) - NEMIROVSKY IRENE: (1903-1942) Russian-born novelist in the French language. A rare A.L.S., Irene Nemirovsky , to two sides of a printed correspondence card, Avenue Daniel-Lesueur, Paris, 6th February 1930, to a gentleman, in French. Nemirovsky thanks her correspondent for their charming letter and the accompanying books, adding that she was very touched by their thought of her, and further remarking 'Malheureusement, pour l'adaption theatrale de mon roman, je ne peux pas vous donner la reponse favorable que je souhaiterais. En effet, cette adaptation est cedee depuis quelque temps deja et la piece sera vraisemblement jouee a Paris la saison prochaine' (Translation: 'Unfortunately, as far as the stage adaptation of my novel is concerned, I am unable to give you the favourable response I would like. In fact, this adaptation has been sold for some time now and the play will probably be performed in Paris next season' ). Autograph letters of Nemirovsky are rare owing to her appalling murder in Auschwitz concentration camp at the age of 39. VG Nemirovsky may refer to an adaptation of her first novel, David Golder , which had been published in 1929 and had won instant acclaim for the twenty-six year old author. In 1930 the novel was made into a film of the same title, directed by Julien Duvivier and starring Harry Baur in the title role. Nemirovsky's novella Le Bal was also published at around the same date and made into a film in 1931.
