About the book

My Life by Marc Chagall is a non-fiction book. Marc Chagall's colourful, hilarious, dream-like autobiography Chagall was born in Witebsk in White Russia, the son of a herring merchant who lived opposite a laundress and a chimney sweep.

After the Revolution, while waiting for emigration papers, he wrote his autobiography at the age of 34. My Life reads like one of Chagall's paintings: emotional, fragmentary, humorous, colourful and dream-like, soaked in nostalgia for Jewish small-town society, familiar to us from The Fiddler on the Roof. It combines a colourist's eye for detail, an artist's passion for life, a satirical sense of humour with a backdrop of Belle poque Paris and revolutionary Russia. The character sketches are magnificent. Chagall produced 50 illustrations which accompany the text.
