Paul Morand

Tender Shoots

Ebook (EPUB Format)

These three stories, about a trio of independent young women, are set in London:a city Paul Morand loved and which continued to fascinate him long after he worked there as an attaché at the French embassy from 1913 to 1916. Composed around the time of the First World War, these stylish, poetic and highly original tales came as a breath of fresh air on the French literary scene of the Twenties. They made an immediate impact on writers as diverse as Cocteau and Giraudoux, as well as Marcel Proust, a great friend and supporter of Morand, who subsequently contributed a foreword for the book.

Über den Autor

Paul Morand:diplomat, writer and socialite, friend of Proust and Malraux:was one of the most original authors of the twentieth century. Born in Paris in 1888 and educated at the Ýcole des Sciences Politiques, he joined the Diplomatic Corps, serving in London, Rome, Berne and Bucharest. In a long and busy life, he found time to write poetry, novels, short stories and travel books. Morand's reputation suffered after the Second World War, during which he collaborated with the Vichy regime, but in 1963 he was made a member of the Académie Française. He was married to the Romanian princess Hélène Soutzo and died in Paris in 1976. Euan Cameron is an editor and translator. His many translations from French include biographies of Marcel Proust and Irène Némirovsky, as well as Paul Morand's Venices and The Allure of Chanel, both for Pushkin Press.
