Sophie Jomain

Sophie tient à peine sur ses pieds quand elle apprend qu’être bavard n’est pas le privilège des grands. Elle utilise les mots et récite des poésies toutes aussi insolites les unes que les autres, sans toujours en comprendre le sens, mais ça fait son petit effet. C’est sûrement à ce moment-là qu’elle est atteinte du virus de l’expression, d’abord au micro dans le brouhaha d’un piano-bar (le jazz, son premier grand coup de cœur), et longtemps après, avec quelques cinq cents pages d’un livre bien épais.

Plus tard, ses parents la promènent partout à un rythme effréné, si bien que, prise d’une crise de déplacement aiguë, elle se retrouve en Angleterre à l’âge de 18 ans, où sans se défendre plus que ça, elle se laisse séduire par l’Union Jack. Dep

Vicente Blasco Ibáñez

Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (January 29, 1867 – January 28, 1928) was a Spanish realist novelist writing in Spanish, a screenwriter and occasional film director.

Born in Valencia, today he is best known in the English-speaking world for his World War I novel The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He is also known for his political activities.

He finished studying law, but hardly practised. He divided his time between politics, literature. He was a fan of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

His life, it can be said, tells a more interesting story than his novels. He was a militant Republican partisan in his youth and founded a newspaper, El Pueblo (translated as either The Town or The People) in his hometown. The newspaper aroused so much controversy that it
