«Cartes robades» is Gérard Depardieu's book of letters, published by Edicions La Campana in paperback (160 pages, in Catalan).
Depardieu began by writing a long letter to his mother and continued with others to Catherine Deneuve, Marguerite Duras or François Truffaut. In them he talks about money, work, nature and illness and confesses the human condition after his acting career. He wanted to forget these texts, but they were torn from him: they are not fiction.
The French original «Lettres volées» was published in 1988; this Catalan translation, in 1989.
For readers interested in the figure of Gérard Depardieu and in personal testimonies from the world of cinema.
