Notability

[edit]

Umm El Banine Assadoulaeff was born to a rich Azerbaijani family. She seized the opportunity of a visit to Constantinople to abandon a husband she had been forced to marry at fifteen, and whom she despised, fleeing to Paris. There, literary acquaintances, including Montherlant, Kazantzakis, and Malraux urged her to publish. Her journals and other works were much later to inspire the post-Communist republic of Azerbaijan to demand her return as “a national glory” – an invitation which she declined. She died in October 1992. Her obituary in the newspaper Le Figaro called her “one of those personages of La vie romanesque who traverse a century, attracting like a lodestone all the singular figures of their times”.

I think that the person is notable to have an article about her in Wikipedia. Grandmaster 11:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
