«Le dernier hiver du Cid» is the biography of Gérard Philipe written by Jérôme Garcin, published by Gallimard in paperback (197 pages, in French).
The book reconstructs the final months of Gérard Philipe, an actor who died in 1959 at the age of thirty-six: from the summer in Ramatuelle to the last Parisian winter, with his unfinished projects (Greek tragedies, Hamlet, The Count of Monte Cristo) and the illness he ignored while dreaming of new roles.

It will appeal to readers of biographies and to those who want to learn about the final months of a figure from French cinema and theater.
