Elsa Triolet was a Russian-French writer and translator. In 1944 Triolet was the first woman to be awarded the Prix Goncourt for her novel 'Le Premier Accroc Coûte 200 Francs' (The First Mishap Costs 200 Francs). The Prix Goncourt is a prize in French literature, given by the académie Goncourt to the author of "the best and most imaginative prose work of the year". The melancholy “Le Rossignol se Tait a l'Aulle” (The Nightingale Is Silent at Dawn), published in the spring in her final year, was to be her last novel.
