Solal
On the sun-drenched Greek island of Cephalonia, sixteen-year-old Solal — beautiful, brilliant, insatiably ambitious — seduces the French consul's wife and sets in motion a dazzling, doomed ascent. Carrying his family's ancient Jewish hopes like a burden and a talisman, he storms Paris, marries the prime minister's daughter, and claws his way to ministerial power, only to be repudiated by the world that seduced him. Albert Cohen's first novel, opening the tetralogy continued in Mangeclous, Belle du Seigneur and Les Valeureux, is at once picaresque comedy, passionate love story, and searing meditation on identity — the book Cohen called "a passionate pamphlet against passion."
