«Le second souffle suivi du Diable gardien» is the autobiography of Philippe Pozzo di Borgo, published by Bayard in paperback (282 pages).
In 1993, a paragliding fall left Philippe Pozzo di Borgo tetraplegic, then managing director of the Pommery champagne house. Pozzo di Borgo recounts his new life, his encounter with Abdel, the caregiver he calls his «guardian devil», and the friendship that transforms his way of facing adversity.
Work originally published in 2001; this French edition appeared in 2011 and the book inspired the movie «Intouchables», by Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache.
