Endearing, self-absorbed, seventeen-year-old Cecile is the very essence of untroubled amorality. Freed from the stifling constraints of boarding school, she joins her father--a handsome, still-young widower with a wandering eye--for a carefree, two-month summer vacation in a beautiful villa outside of Paris with his latest mistress, Elsa. Cecile cherishes the free-spirited moments she and her father share, while plotting her own sexual adventures with a "tall and almost beautiful" law student. But the arrival of her late mother's best friend, Anne, intrudes upon a young girl's pleasures. And when a relationship begins to develop between the adults, Cecile and her lover set in motion a plan to keep them apart...with tragic, unexpected consequences. The internationally beloved story of a precocious teenager's attempts to understand and control the world around her, Francoise Sagan's "Bonjour Tristesse" is a beautifully composed, wonderfully ambiguous celebration of sexual liberation, at once sympathetic and powerfully unsparing.

弗朗索瓦絲·薩岡（Francoise Sagan，1935－2004）是法國著名的纔女作傢。一九五四年，年僅十八歲的她寫齣瞭小說《你好，憂愁》，一舉奪得當年法國的“批評傢奬”。這本關於少年、愛情和孤獨的小說，在五年之內被翻譯成二十二種語言，在全球的銷量高達五百萬冊，還被改編成電影，成為轟動一時的文化事件和齣版現象。

薩岡漂亮齣眾，個性鮮明，行為有些離經判道，她喜歡寫作、賽馬、飚車、酗酒，卻備受法國人鍾愛。與薩特和法國前總統密特朗不尋常的友誼，都為她的神秘增添瞭特殊光環。

薩岡被視為一個時代的青春代言人，她的小說明快、典雅，同時富有樂感和詩意，散發著淡淡的愁緒，文字簡潔、聰明而從容，將法語的優美展露無遺。她的代錶作包括《你好，憂愁》、《某種微笑》、《一月後，一年後》、《你喜歡勃拉姆斯嗎……》、《狂亂》，等等。
