Newly free, she spent two years in almost total solitude, creating a series of autobiographical art-images, words, even musical scores-that together tell her life story. A pregnant Charlotte was killed in Auschwitz at the age of 26, but not before she entrusted her life's work to a friend, who kept it safe until peacetime. The result, an extraordinary novel avant la lettre, was eventually published as Life? or Theatre? (and now reissued by Overlook), a unique, relentlessly complete artistic expression.In Charlotte, David Foenkinos-with passion, life, humor, and intelligent observation-has written his own utterly original tribute to Charlotte Salomon's tragic life and transcendent art. His gorgeous, haunting, and ultimately redemptive novel is the result of a long-cherished desire to honor this young artist. Infused with the emotion of a writer who connects deeply with his subject, and masterfully and sensitively translated by Sam Taylor, Charlotte is a triumph of creative expression, a monument to genius stilled too soon, and an ode to the will to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023125737760,"sku":"USED1468312766","price":12.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81LbEz5nSTL.jpg?v=1793141899","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/charlotte-a-novel-1468312766-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
