Gladys Eysenach is no longer young, but she is still beautiful, elegant, cold. She is accused of shooting dead her much-younger lover. As the witnesses take the stand and the case unfolds, Gladys relives fragments of her past: her childhood, her absent father, her marriage, her turbulent relationship with her daughter, her decline, and then the final irrevocable act. With the depth of insight and pitiless compassion we have come to expect from the author of Suite Française, Irène Némirovsky shows us the soul of a desperate woman obsessed with her lost youth.  \nAbout the Author  \nIrène Némirovsky was born in Kiev in 1903, the daughter of a successful Jewish banker. In 1918 her family fled the Russian Revolution for France where she became a bestselling novelist, author of David Golder, Le Bal, The CourilofAffair, All Our Worldly Goods and other works published in her lifetime or afterwards, such as Suite Française and Fire in the Blood.  \nNémirovsky was prevented from publishing when the Germans occupied France and moved with her husband and two small daughters from Paris to the safety of the small village of Issy-l'Evêque (in German occupied territory). She died in Auschwitz in 1942.  \nSandra Smith is a fellow of Robinson College, Cambridge, and has translated ten of Irène Némirovsky’s novels into English.  \nAlso by Irène Némirovsky  \nSuite Française David Golder  \nLe Bal (including Snow in Autumn) The CourilofAffair Fire in the Blood All Our Worldly Goods The Dogs and the Wolves The Wine of Solitude The Misunderstanding  \nIntroduction  \nA woman stands in the dock accused of murdering her young lover. A succession of witnesses are called to testify to her character. Gladys Eysenach listens in silence, admitting to the crime but refusing to explain why she has committed murder.  \n‘Jezebel’… the very name immediately conjures up a host of impressions, all negative: seductress, traitor, whore. Yet the Jezebel of the Old Testament was not originally condemned for her loose morals, but for convincing her husband, King Ahab, to reject the God of Israel in order to worship the Phoenician god, Baal. Némirovsky’s Jezebel worships an idol as well: her own beauty. To her, beauty is power; it defines her life and her worth. As Gladys ages and her fears turn to obsessions, Némirovsky explores the fine balance between victim and criminal, and the reader is torn between sympathy and horror. Jezebel is a fascinating psychological study that has resonance in our modern culture’s celebration of youth and beauty. Dissecting the mind of a woman obsessed with beauty and haunted by the fear of growing old, Némirovsky delivers a fascinating, tragic study of how such a woman sees herself and is seen by others.  \nIn Jezebel, Gladys describes her own mother, whom she detested: ‘Until she was eighteen years old, she had lived with her mother, a cold woman, harsh and virtually mad, an elderly painted doll who was sometimes frivolous and sometimes terrifying …’In David Golder, Le Bal and The Wine of Solitude, Némirovsky also depicts a certain type of mother in a fiercely negative light. This was almost certainly a reflection of her antagonistic relationship with her own mother, Fanny, who dressed her daughter in children’s clothing when she was well into her teens, in order to give the impression that she herself was still youthful and seductive.  \nAt the end of World War II, the bitter relationship between mothers and daughters that Némirovsky depicted many times in fiction was to be refle","cbCaibMye7IK8m8z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibMye7IK8m8z","pdf",1691046,63,"English","# Introduction\n## Prologue\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n## Chapter 9\n## Chapter 10\n## Chapter 11\n## Chapter 12\n## Chapter 13\n## Chapter 14\n## Chapter 15\n## Chapter 16\n## Chapter 17\n## Chapter 18\n## Chapter 19\n## Chapter 20\n## Chapter 21\n## Chapter 22","[{\"question\":\"What is Gladys Eysenach accused of in Jezebel?\",\"answer\":\"Gladys Eysenach is accused of shooting dead her much-younger lover.
