Sagan's 1954
About This Novel
In 1954, the publisher Rene Juilliard received a book manuscript called "Hello, Sorrow". The author's age was marked on the envelope - 18 years old, but his writing style was sophisticated. He thought it was a prank by an old writer. When he discovered that the manuscript was actually written by an 18-year-old girl, he was so surprised that he couldn't believe his eyes. After the novel was published, it not only won the French "Critics Prize" that year, but was also translated into 22 languages within 5 years, with global sales of 5 million copies, and was adapted into a movie, becoming a sensational cultural event and publishing phenomenon. This book was written at the invitation of Sagan's son. The author integrates his own life into Sagan's life, empathizes with her, and tells the legendary story of how this talented female writer transformed from an unknown girl studying abroad into a rising star in the literary world when she was 18 years old.
