Marie Susini (1916-1993) was a French writer and a prominent figure in 20th-century literature, deeply connected to her native Corsica. Born in Renno, she moved to Paris to study literature and philosophy at the Sorbonne. Close to Albert Camus and Jean Daniel, she was one of the most significant voices of the so-called "École d'Alger". Her literary career began with the novel *Plein Sud* (1953), followed by *La Fiera* (1954). Her work explores the dynamics of Mediterranean and island societies in a sober and intense style, addressing themes such as passion, transgression, the weight of fate, and the female condition. Among her most notable works are *C'était cela l'été* (1966), *La Fiancée* (1975), and *L'isola* (1987). Throughout her life, she received important awards, including the Prix Fénéon in 1966 and the Grand Prix de la Société des Gens de Lettres in 1987 for her entire body of work, crowning her literary contribution.
