Eliette Ab\u00e9cassis, born in 1969 in Strasbourg, is a French writer. She is the daughter of Armand Ab\u00e9cassis, a philosophy professor and renowned thinker of Judaism, whose writings and teachings establish a fruitful dialogue between Judaism and Christianity.<\/p>\n
After completing her preparatory classes at Lyc\u00e9e Henri IV in Paris, she joined the \u00c9cole Normale Sup\u00e9rieure, rue d’Ulm. A philosophy agr\u00e9g\u00e9e, she taught for three years at the University of Caen before embarking on writing novels, children’s books, essays, and screenplays. A mother of two, she lives in Paris. For her books, she conducts extensive research, whether through travel, reading, or following the characters of her novels, such as Nathalie and Sonia Rykiel, for “M\u00e8re et fille, un roman.”<\/p>\n
In 1998, Eliette Ab\u00e9cassis wrote an essay on Evil and the philosophical origin of homicide: Petite M\u00e9taphysique du meurtre at PUF. In September 2000, she published her new novel with Albin Michel, La R\u00e9pudi\u00e9e. She received the Prix des \u00e9crivains croyants 2001 and was a finalist for the Grand Prix du roman de l’Acad\u00e9mie fran\u00e7aise and the Prix F\u00e9mina. This novel is inspired by the screenplay she wrote for the film Kadosh by Israeli director Amos Gita\u00ef. To develop this screenplay, Eliette Ab\u00e9cassis lived for six months in the very orthodox neighborhood of Jerusalem, Mea Shearim. In 2001, Le Tr\u00e9sor du temple narrates the sequel to Qumran on the trail of the Templars: Ary Cohen and Jane Rogers reunite to investigate the secret of the Jerusalem temple. The Qumran trilogy skillfully adopts the form of an adventure and suspense novel but conceals within its plots genuine erudition and real metaphysical ambition. The same year, she directed the short film “La nuit de noces,” with a screenplay co-written with G\u00e9rard Brach. In 2002, the novel Mon p\u00e8re was published, which tells the story of the questioning of an idyllic father-daughter relationship while Qumran was adapted into a comic book by G\u00e9mine and Makyo. In 2003, her novel Clandestin tells the story of an impossible love. It was part of the selection of twelve books for the Prix Goncourt. In 2004, the last installment of Qumran, La derni\u00e8re tribu, was published. In 2005, with her novel Un heureux \u00e9v\u00e9nement, Eliette Ab\u00e9cassis tackles the theme of motherhood. She also directed the docu-fiction Tel Aviv la vie, with Tiffany Tavernier. In 2007, she published with Caroline Bongrand an essay on contemporary women, titled Le Corset invisible. In 2009, she published the novel S\u00e9pharade, whose heroine, in her existential quest, immerses herself in the world of Moroccan Sephardic Jews. In 2011, she published Et te voici permise \u00e0 tout homme, where she recounts the difficulties of obtaining a religious divorce. In 2013, she published Le Palimpseste d’Archim\u00e8de. In 2014, she published Un secret du docteur Freud, written with the help of her mother, a psychoanalyst. In 2015, Alyah was published, a sort of testimony of a Jewish woman after the January 2015 attacks in France.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
