Abstract
A review of the main features of the γ-ray emission of individual classical novae is presented. We concentrate on the theoretical predictions of both the long lasting emission, produced by electron captures on 7Be and β +-decay of 22Na, and the prompt emission, produced by electron–positron annihilation (with positrons coming from 13N and 18F β +-decays). Special attention is paid to the observability of novae with the current INTEGRAL observatory and with future missions, like EXIST.
