L'or - Blaise Cendrars

Product Description

The extraordinary story of a Swiss general in exile who is ruined by the discovery of gold on his land. A great traveller himself, Cendrars' story is full of experiences and memories. We follow closely the ascent and downfall of this courageous general who finds no happiness in gold, as so many have discovered before him. A fine psychological analysis and a simple, lyrical, modern style of writing make this a true work of art and an ironic tale of rags to riches set in the United States in a tremendous period of its history, delivered by Belgian actor Jean Servais, and a product of many years' work by the author.
