A feverish classic from one of the modern masters of French prose.


About the author

Paul Morand (1888-1976) was born in Paris and, after studying at the École des Sciences Politiques, joined the diplomatic corps, serving in London, Rome, Berne and Bucharest. In a long and busy life,
he found time to write poetry, novels, short stories and travel books. Married to a Romanian Princess, he was made a member of the Académie Française in 1968.
Michel Déon published over fifty works. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Prix Interallié for his 1970 novel, Les Poneys Sauvages (The Wild Ponies). His 1973 novel, Un Taxi Mauve, garnered him international renown when it received the esteemed title of the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française. His novels have been translated into numerous languages. He was considered one of the most innovative French writers of the 21st century. A member of the Académie française, Déon was one of just forty members who are elected by their peers to serve for life. Déon died in 2016.
