Boris Schreiber (29 May 1923 in Berlin - 11 February 2008 at the American Hospital in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) was a French writer. == Biography == Boris Schreiber was born on 29 May 1923 in Berlin, where his parents, Wladimir Schreiber and Eugénie Markowitch, lived as refugees of the Russian revolution. His father worked for the German-Russian joint stock transport company (Derutra) and later for a German import-export company. The family enjoyed a life of prosperity. After his father lost his job six years later, the Schreibers left Berlin, moving to Antwerp where they lived in abject poverty. Eugénie’s family in Riga subsequently took them in. In 1930, they moved to Paris, where Boris Schreiber was sent to several schools, having already been taught French by his aunt in Riga. In 1937, he began to write a diary and tried to establish contact with various writers (Romain Rolland, Georges Duhamel, Francis Carco)). He also kept abreast of the literary world and thus discovered the works of other Jewish immigrant writers from the East, in particular those of Irene Nemirovsky and Jean Malaquais. In 1938 he visited André Gide and read excerpts from his diary and a short story to him. During the German occupation, his family settled in Marseilles. At this time, Boris Schreiber visited Gide in Cabris, where he also met Roger Martin du Gard, Henri Thomas and Jean Schlumberger. After having completed his secondary school education, he enrolled at the Faculty of Law at Aix-Marseille University (1942-1943). Although he was registered with the Vichy administration as a stateless Russian, he escaped persecution under anti-Jewish laws because his religion was specified as "orthodox". To avoid compulsory work service (STO), he worked for the German Todt Organisation (OT) in 1944. Prior to the liberation of Marseilles, he joined the FFI resistance network and worked for the newspaper ''Rouge Midi''. He subsequently joined his parents in Paris and met Simone there soon after; they married several years later. In 1947, he received French citizenship and enrolled at the Sorbonne University to study literary studies and Russian. At this time, he started to write his first novel, ''Le Droit d'asile'' – a narrative about the war in Marseilles – published in 1957. Boris Schreiber taught for several years. Thanks to financial support from his parents, however, he was later able to dedicate himself entirely to writing. His father had set up a successful oil business. Schreiber was awarded the Prix Combat for ''La Rencontre des absents'' (1963). He published a dozen novels with several publishers, which received recognition but failed to reach a broad public. His novel ''La Traversée du dimanche'' (1987) was awarded the Prix Sainte-Beuve. In 1968, he left Simone to live with Lucienne. His novel ''Le Cratère'' published in 1975 is about this separation. Some years after the death of his father (1976), he left Lucienne and divorced Simone in order to marry Arria (1982). He travelled abroad and lived in Long Island (NY) in the United States for a period of time. After the death of his mother (1985), he began to write autobiographical works and was awarded the Prix Renaudot for ''Un silence d'environ une demi-heure'' in 1996. His last work, ''Faux titre'', a collection of short stories, was published some weeks before his death. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boris Schreiber」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
