Marc Levy was born in France. When he turned eighteen, he joined the Red Cross, where he spent the next six years. In 1983, he created a computer graphics company based in France and the United States. Six years later, he co-founded an interior design and planning company with two friends; the company soon became one of the leading architecture firms in France.

At thirty-seven, Marc Levy wrote a story for the man that his son would grow up to be. In early 1999, his sister, a screenwriter (now a film director), encouraged him to send the manuscript to a French publisher, who immediately decided to publish If Only It Were True. Before it was published, Steven Spielberg (Dreamworks) acquired film rights to the novel. The movie, Just like Heaven, starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, was a #1 box office hit in America in 2005.

After If Only It Were True, Marc Levy began writing full-time. Since then, he has written 25 novels. His work has been translated into 50 languages and has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.

His last novel "The Symphony of Monsters" has been published in France on October 17, 2023.

In addition, Marc Levy has directed a short movie, written short stories and song lyrics for various artists, including Johnny Hallyday.

Le Figaro newspaper recently commissioned a nationwide poll asking the French to rank their favorite author: Marc Levy and Victor Hugo were #1.

Marc Levy currently lives in New York City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Una sorpresa
Reviewed in Italy on December 13, 2013

Ho letto "Il primo giorno" prima in italiano poi in lingua originale, l'ho trovato un libro ben scritto e sorprendente, che riesce ad essere sia piacevole per il racconto che coinvolgente per la storia in esso contenuta che via via assume i contorni del giallo.
Molto molto bello. Non vedo l'ora di cominciare la lettura de "la prima stella della notte" che almeno per quello che ho potuto capire contiene gli stessi personaggi e quindi dovrebbe essere il seguito.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le Premier Jour-Wodehouse meets the DaVinci Code
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2011
Verified Purchase
This was the first book by Marc Levy that I have read. It was a wonderful piece of writing with characterization that created full personalities in just a few sentences. Even the walk on characters came alive. I also enjoyed the variety of dialog, especially reading this in a foreign language. The intellectuals used complicated sentences and nuanced vocabulary in contrast to the more down to earth characters who spoke simply.

In places, the book had the sort of delightful farcical quality of a Wodehouse story. Combined with the science/spiritual fiction that seems to characterize other contemporary French novels, Le Premier Jour was a really unusual mix of humor, pathos, intrigue, and exotic scene. As Levy's web page points out, the book has everything.

I suppose that it all depends on your level of French, but with dictionary in hand there was very little that I couldn't understand. I only wish I could remember the beautiful phrasing and colloquialisms for my own attempts at speaking French. It was such a delightful novel that what have been a tedious task reading in a foreign language was actually a complete pleasure.
