Diane Jacquin de Margerie (born 24 December 1927) is a French woman of letters and translator from English.
Biography
Diane de Margerie is the daughter of Jenny Fabre-Luce (1896–1991) and Roland de Margerie[1] (1899–1990). Her father was the nephew of writer Edmond Rostand and the cousin of Gérard Mante, who married Marcel Proust's niece. Her mother was loved by Austrian writer Rilke.
Diane de Margerie is Bertrand de Margerie 's sister (1923–2003), a Jesuit and theologian, and Emmanuel de Margerie (1924-1991), ambassador.
She first married Prince Ricardo Pignatelli della Leonessa (1927–1985). A son was born in 1952, Fabrizio Pignatelli della Leonessa. She marries in second marriage the writer Dominique Fernandez; the couple had a son, Ramon Fernandez , and a daughter, Laetitia Fernandez.
A novelist, literary critic, short story writer, biographer, translator, de Margerie is the author of a diverse work.
Once a member of the Prix Femina jury, she has received several awards. She lived in China and Italy.
Her work leaves much room for autobiography. In La Femme en pierre (1989), de Margerie celebrates the cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, the city where she lives. With 'Isola, Retour des îles Galapagos, she recounts, in a poetic style, her impressions of travel.
