SUMMARY:America’s French Roots
DESCRIPTION:Register here!  \nIn English \nSaturday | November 5 | 11 am PT  \nMembers Free | Non Members $10 \nBecome a member here!  \nEveryone expects a family with a French name living in New Orleans to be descended from ancestors born in France.  But a family named Guttmann whose members now reside in D.C.\, New York City\, and New Jersey?  Hardly. \nAnd yet the Guttmanns are direct descendants of Marie Daudin\, daughter of a dock worker in Orleans\, France\, deported to the French colony called “Louisiana” in 1719.  In “America’s French Roots\,” Joan DeJean will talk with four Guttmann siblings about how Marie Daudin ended up on a ship named La Mutine\, Marie’s life during five decades spent in New Orleans\, and the lives of her descendants\, their ancestors\, through the centuries. \nThe Guttmanns’ story is far from unique.  The Frenchwomen deported along with Marie Daudin by now have descendants living all over this country\, and there are surely many Americans today who have no idea that they have French ancestors.  “America’s French Roots” may well be far more extensive than anyone realizes. \nJoan DeJean is a Trustee Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She previously taught at Yale and at Princeton. She is the author of twelve books on French literature\, history\, and material culture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries\, including “The Invention of Paris: Making the City Modern”  (2014);  “The Age of Comfort: When Paris Discovered Casual and the Modern Home Began” (2009); “The Essence of Style: How the French Invented High Fashion\, Fine Food\, Chic Cafés\, Style\, Sophistication\, and Glamour” (2005). \nShe grew up in southwest Louisiana\, in a family and a town in which Louisiana’s French past was the stuff of daily life.  For over thirty years\, she has divided her time between Philadelphia and Paris\, where she has always worked in the very archives in which\, in 2016\, she happened upon the story of the women banished/deported to Louisiana in 1719. \nPortrait: 18th century portrait by an unknown artist of Marie Angélique Revoil DuForest and her family; reproduced with permission of her family. \nMutinous Women is available at basicbooks.com.  Click here for a recent review by the Wall Street Journal.

SUMMARY:Translating Némirovsky with Sandra Smith
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nTuesday | October 11 | 4- 5 pm PST \nFederation of Alliances Françaises USA\nIn English \nJoin us for a conversation with Sandra Smith\, award-winning translator of French literature\, as she discusses the artistry and challenges involved in translating with Beth S. Gersh-Nešić.  Ms. Smith will be discussing her translation of a previously unpublished book by Irène Némirovsky\, Master of Souls (Le maître des âmes). \nSandra Smith has translated twelve of Irène Némirovsky’s novels\, including the international sensation Suite Française\, into English. She has also translated works by Albert Camus\, Guy de Maupassant\, and Simone de Beauvoir\, among many others and is the recipient of numerous awards including the National Jewish Book Award and the PEN Translation Prize. \nBeth Susan Gersh-Nešić\, Ph.D. is an art historian and the director of the New York Arts Exchange\, an arts education service. Her translation and annotation of André Salmon’s first two books on art were published as André Salmon on French Modern Art (Cambridge University Press\, 2005)\, and her most recent book is a translation of Salmon expert Dr. Jacqueline Gojard’s Pablo Picasso\, André Salmon and “Young French Painting” (Za Mir Press\, 2022). She contributes to the online magazine Bonjour Paris and teaches art history at Mercy College.    \nIrène Némirovsky was born in Kiev\, Ukraine\, in 1903 into a wealthy Jewish family and was raised in a life of privilege in Europe. After fleeing Russia during the Revolution\, she immersed herself in the company of thinkers\, artists\, musicians\, and other cultural elites as part of the Parisian literati of her time. Sixty-two years after her death\, in 2004\, the never-before-published Suite Française brought international acclaim to this gifted writer\, whose life was tragically lost in the Holocaust. Master of Souls can be found at the following booksellers: Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, Books-A-Million\, Bookshop.org. \nThis event will be on Zoom and is free for all Alliance Française members\, AATF members\, and invited guests of the presenter or publicist. Non-members or persons who have no AF chapter nearby can purchase tickets ($10). \nBecome a member here!
