LE COIFFEUR DE CHATEAUBRIAND

Book ID/图书代码： 01780010B35058

English Summary/英文概要： Shy young Adolphe Pâques is barber to the great nineteenth-century author Chateaubriand. His fervent admiration for the great man gradually tips over into obsession, then hatred, and gradually his mind fills with compulsive thoughts of murder… Adrien Goetz’s latest novel is a gripping blend of historical fact and richly imaginative fiction.

Adolphe Pâques, master barber, has a secret that he dare not share with his illustrious customer, the author François René de Chateaubriand: he is an avid fan of his books, and has learned entire pages of them off by heart. He also keeps all the locks he cuts from the great man’s hair. Meanwhile, Chateaubriand is busy at work on his final masterpiece. While all the top publishers are plotting to get their hands on the manuscript, a young woman arrives from Chateaubriand’s native Brittany to declare her undying admiration for him. The heroine – a romantic young woman of mixed race – ends up lodging with Adolphe Pâques, and he soon falls under her spell. When Chateaubriand sets out for Venice, his barber gets hold of a firearm. What can he have in mind?

Adolphe Pâques is a historical figure. He created a work of art from Chateaubriand’s hair, depicting the room where the author was born. He also wrote a volume of memoirs. The publishers’ intrigues to get hold of the manuscript of the Mémoires d’Outre-Tombe are also a matter of historical record. The heroine represents the dozens of lovelorn women who wrote to the great Chateaubriand. Adrien Goetz has dug deep into the archives for his latest novel. The result is a gripping blend of fact and fiction.
