Amelie Nothomb is famous for her brilliant short novels, which she has been publishing annually for over thirty years. Translated in forty countries, they have brought her many prestigious awards, including one of the main literary awards in Europe - the Strega Prize.
The novels "Fear and Trembling" and "Tokyo Bride" are her most famous bestsellers. Both books are based on real facts from the author's biography. The daughter of a major Belgian diplomat, Amelie Nothomb spent her early childhood in Japan and fell in love with this country so much that she dreamed of returning there when she grew up and becoming a real Japanese. And so, having learned Japanese and graduated from university, twenty-year-old Amelie comes to Tokyo with the intention of settling there forever.
"Fear and Trembling" is a fascinating and witty novel about her attempts to become a model employee in a large Japanese company. Built as a psychological duel between two beautiful women, it brought the young writer the Grand Prix of the French Academy. "Tokyo Bride" is the love story of the same Amelie with a handsome Japanese man, which almost ended in marriage. Both novels have been successfully filmed.
