About This Novel

The novel "The Prey" was first published in 1938. It is a Stendhal-style novel. Jean-Luc, a young man from the bottom of society, marries a rich girl for love, hoping to rise through the ranks through his talents. After hitting the wall in the upper class, he alienated the rich lady and turned to work for a smooth politician to seek social status. However, just before he became famous, love struck again in another form, causing Jean-Luc to lose everything. The hunter eventually becomes his own prey. Although Nemilovsky is a woman, she writes about the life of a crazy and ordinary man. "It's so difficult to live alone these days. It requires a lot of courage and a lot of love..."
