Paris France: SEUIL, 2008. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo - over 7 in to 9 in Tall. Texte francais, couverture souple. État d'usage: neuf. Jamel Debbouze n'a que trente-deux ans, mais sa vie pourrait déjà être un roman. Un roman sur fond de drame, mais aussi d'ascension sociale à la vitesse d'une fusée. On passe ici très vite des larmes aux rires, de la misère à la fortune. Là où cette histoire commence, à Barbès (XVIIIe arrondissement de Paris) puis à Trappes (Yvelines), dans un milieu d'immigrés marocains, la douceur de vivre et la chaleur humaine ne sont pas absentes, mais l'itinéraire n'est pas vraiment celui d'un enfant gâté, surtout quand frappe la tragédie. Jamel, qui n'a pas le physique d'un athlète, est en effet handicapé par la perte, dans des circonstances effroyables, de l'usage d'un bras. Mais quand il est sur les planches plus rien ne l'arrête, et bientôt plus personne, y compris les financiers, ne lui résiste. On a affaire à un magicien de la comédie au regard magnétique, parlant au rythme d'une mitraillette, improvisateur sans pareil, devenu l'emblème de toute une génération. A travers des témoignages intimes et des révélations sur des rencontres décisives ignorées, ce livre reconstitue pour la première fois le parcours vrai d'un surdoué des banlieues., SEUIL, 2008, 3, London: Hutchinson, 1998 0091784425. Hardback. Like new. First edition. First printing. Complete numberline. Fine/Fine. DW is not price clipped. Signed on the title page by the author. Otherwise no inscriptions or annotations. Highly collectible. With Charlotte Gray, Sebastion Faulks concludes his French trilogy of novels which began with The Girl at the Lion d'Or and Birdsong. 393pp. Size: 240 x 160mm. .In 1942, Charlotte Gray, a young scottish woman, goes to Occupied France on a dual mission: to run an apparently simple errand for a British special oeprations group and to search for her lover, an English airman who has gone missing in action. In the small town of Lavaurette, Sebastian Faulks presents a microcosm of France and its agony in 'the black years'. Here is the full range of collaboration, from the tacit to the enthusistic, as well as examples of extraordinary courage and altruism. Through the local resistance chief Julien, Charlotte meets his father, a Jewish painter whose inspiration has failed him.In a series of shocking narrative climaxes in which the full extent of French collusion in the Nazi holocaust is delineated, Faulks brings the story to a resolution of redemptive love. In the delicacy of its writing, the intimacy of its characterisation and its powerful narrative scenes of harrowing public events, " A worthy successor to Birdsong'" Alain de Botton. ., Hutchinson, 5<

[EAN: 9780091784423], Used, very good, [SC: 2.8], [PU: Cornerstone, United Kingdom, London], SEBASTIAN FAULKS CHARLOTTE GRAY, IN 1942, Charlotte Gray, a young scottish woman, goes to Occupied France on a dual mission- to run an apparantly simple errand for a British special operations group and to search for her lover, an English airman called Peter Gregory, who has gone missing in action. In the small town of Lavaurette, Sebastian Faulks presents a microcosm of France and its agony in 'the black years', here is the full range of collaboration, from the tacit to the enthusiastic, as well as examples of extraordinary courage and altruism. Through the local resistance chief Julien, Charlotte meets his father a Jewish painter whose inspiration has failed him. In Charlotte's friendship with both men, Faulks opens up the theme of false memory and of paradises - both national and personal - that appear irredeemably lost. In a series of shocking narrative climaxes in which the full extent of French collusion in the Nazi holocaust is delineated, Faulks brings the story to a resolution of redemptive love. In the delicacy of its writing, the intimacy of its characterisation and its powerful narrative scenes of harrowing public events, CHARLOTTE GRAY is a worthy successor to BIRDSONG.
