Biography
[edit]Stéphane Zagdanski is the third son of a french jewish family whose grand-parents emigrated from Poland at the begining of the 20th century. At the age of 20, while studying philosophy at the University of Paris La Sorbonne, the reading of Emmanuel Levinas introduced him to Talmud, Midrash, Zohar and Jewish Thought. Soon, jewish classics inspired him by their alliance of profoundness and fancy in a typical mind of freedom that he only found before in Classical Litterature.
At 23, he passes a Master of Philosophy inspired by the work of Levinas, while he writes a first novel with a theological and erotic background which remains unpublished. As soon as he gets his master degree, he leaves University to devote himself to writing.
