«Une page d'histoire et autres nouvelles» is the short story collection by Romain Gary, published by Folio in paperback (117 pages, in French).
The stories bring together ambassadors in Istanbul, art collectors, soldiers, prisoners and war survivors: all are victims of despair and unreason, and struggle in vain against forces that sweep them along. Gary portrays them with irony and detachment, without giving up his lucid gaze on the human condition.
It belongs to the Folio 2 euros collection (volume 3759); it gathers stories taken from Les oiseaux vont mourir au Pérou.
For readers of French fiction and short stories, as well as for those who want to approach the work of Romain Gary.
