Description
The great thinkers of the 20th century attracted enthusiastic young men who became their intimate friends or adoptive sons. Bewitched by their idols, torn between veneration and feelings of resentment, these «disciples» have written about their masters with terrifying lucidity. In the shadow of Anatole France, Cocteau, Breton, Gide, Sartre, and Foucault, the destinies of Jean-Jacques Brousson, Lucien Rebatet, Maurice Sachs, René Crevel, Pierre Herbart, Olivier Todd, and Hervé Guibert were formed… These dazzled orphans are the «lost children» of a chimerical century which Frédéric Gaussen explores herein.
