Synopsis "Charlotte"

Charlotte, que relata la historia de Charlotte Salomon, pintora alemana muerta en Auschwitz a los 26 años, ha sido distinguida con el Premio Renaudot. David Foenkinos, autor de La Delicadeza, también ha sido reconocido con el Premio Goncourt des Lycéens 2014 por Charlotte. Charlotte Salomon, pintora alemana de origen judío, deja Berlín tras una infancia marcada por una tragedia familiar y una relación amorosa que dejará en ella una huella definitiva, y pone rumbo a Francia huyendo de los nazis. En el sur de Francia le esperan sus abuelos, quienes custodian un secreto que Charlotte no puede conocer. Allí comienza a componer su fascinante autobiografía a través de una obra única. Al saberse en peligro confía sus cuadros a su médico a quien confiesa: "Es toda mi vida". Charlotte muere a los veintiséis años en Auschwitz, lejos de su gran amor.

David Foenkinos was born in Paris in 1974. A graduate in Literature from the Sorbonne University, he also received solid training as a jazz musician. Among his novels, enthusiastically received by readers and critics worldwide and translated into many languages, stand out The Erotic Potential of My Wife (Roger-Nimier Award 2004), In Case of Happiness (2005), The Memories (2011), I Am Feeling Much Better (2013) and, above all, Delicacy (2009), which won ten awards and was a finalist in the most prestigious literary awards in France, such as the Goncourt, the Renaudot, the Médicis, the Femina, and the Interallié, and which was later made into a film by the author himself and his brother Stéphane. In 2010, Foenkinos, a melomaniac and devoted fan of John Lennon, decided to launch a unique fictional biography, Lennon, with which Alfaguara began publishing his work in 2014. In 2015, he was awarded the Renaudot and Goncourt des lycéens prizes for Charlotte (Alfaguara, 2018), a unique book that rescued the painter Charlotte Salomon from oblivion. Following the success of The Library of Rejected Books (Alfaguara, 2017), adapted into a film, Alfaguara has also published Towards Beauty (2019), Two Sisters (2020), The Martin Family (2021) and, now, Number Two, winner of the Prix Nice Baie des Anges.
