Written in French.
A novel full of vitamins and rich in images (600 photographs), where sweet memories of happy days float, but also a photo novel of a whole generation immortalised on paper and transformed, by the grace of Robert Doisneau, into a visual map of the human race.
It is this rediscovered memory that this book proposes, a new reading of a work that is rebounding in that it reveals, by its very abundance, the originality of a man with a lively vocabulary who was as much a friend of poets as of drunks. Alongside images that have become classics, such as the shy face of Mademoiselle Anita, here is an opportunity to discover a Doisneau intrigued by everything that moves. Everything that lives. Everything that reminds him a little of his childhood in Gentilly (Val-de-Marne) when, with fat Marcel and Jean-François, young Robert imagined family dreams.
