Michel FRANÇOIS
Michel François was born in the Allier region and studied in Vichy. As an adult, he worked for 35 years in communications for a local newspaper in the Puy-de-Dôme area. After dedicating several years of his youth to the escapade described in this book, and after recounting its episodes to those around him, he was strongly encouraged to put it into words. Thus, once retired and enjoying writing, he decided to revisit the paths of his youth.
Imagine being in your twenties in the late 1960s, leading a mundane and monotonous existence centered around high school, and finding a way out of this trap. This is the story of a few years that allowed the author to travel and learn foreign languages. At the heart of this narrative is his encounter with a mysterious and charismatic character who will show him all the facets of life. As he gets to know him, he must take many unexpected paths, each filled with surprises. Along the way, he has had the opportunity to suffer, to dream, and then to come back down to earth. An adventure that marks a lifetime… This story is based on true events, but many names of people and places have been changed. Publication date: September 1, 2024. Order now. Press release.
