The book brings together twenty-five letters written by Gérard Depardieu to people close to him —his mother, friends, Isabelle Adjani or Catherine Deneuve— as well as to figures such as François Mitterrand. They are brief, intimate texts combining confessions, memories and reflections on life, the acting craft and the human condition, revealing a more personal and vulnerable side of the French performer.
French-language edition from the Le Livre de Poche collection, originally published in 1988 and reissued in 1994.
For readers interested in Gérard Depardieu and in personal correspondence as a literary genre.
