"Solal is the son of the chief rabbi of Cephalonia. He is on his way to become a highly recognised diplomat for the United Nations. He then falls for a sweet and beautiful French catholic girl, just on the eve of WWII. They get together, passionate, ignorant of their families' disapprovals. But the growing antisemitism affects Solal's love and behaviour, and he becomes sarcastic, irritable and guilty, in spite of Aurore's efforts to keep their love alive."
"Autobiografische levensbeschrijving van een joodse emigrant in Genève."
"Premier roman d'Albert Cohen. Edition originale, 1930. Un jeune et brillant Juif de Céphalonie a du mal à assumer son rôle d'ambitieux. Sur la route de son triomphe, oncles et cousins d'Orient sont là pour lui rappeler ses origines modestes, la précarité de son pouvoir et la dérision de tout ordre social. Un grand livre plein de sève et d'originalité."
""Dans l'île de Céphalonie, Solal, fils du grand rabbin, séduit à 16 ans Adrienne de Valdonne, femme du consul de France, l'abandonne et la séduit à nouveau cinq ans plus tard à Genève ... Ce roman est l'acte de naissance de ce Fabrice Del Dongo juif, qui veut conquérir le monde et les femmes, tout en mesurant la dérision de ses succès."
