«Un héros très discret» is the novel by Jean-François Deniau, published by Pocket in paperback (185 pages, in French).
In the Paris of 1944-1945, a jaded man decides to invent a glorious life for himself and pass as a hero. Albert Dehousse makes his way into the Resistance through omissions and allusions, building a shadowy persona. The narrative explores the construction of identity, memory, and the limits of imposture.
The work, originally published in 1989, was adapted into a movie by Jacques Audiard with Mathieu Kassovitz, Sandrine Kiberlain, and Anouk Grinberg.
For readers of contemporary French fiction, stories about World War II, and plots of identity and imposture.
Jean-François Deniau was a French politician, diplomat, essayist and novelist. Until 1998, he was a member of the Union for French Democracy (UDF).
