About This Item
Warner Books, 1999. First edition. Hard cover. Like New/Fine. 6x1x9. Signed by Author. Inscribed "To Daniel and Susie, This Rymn to life, Blessings! Dominique Lapierre Aug. 8, 99". The author describes the most meaningful stories he covered as a journalist, including the execution of Caryl Chessman, the fight to save Africa's elephants, the founding of Israel, a legendary Spanish bullfighter, and the struggle of Calcutta's poor. Dominique Lapierre was a noted French author with several celebrated books to his credit, including City of Joy, Freedom on the Soviet Roads and Chessman Told Me. A Fulbright scholar of economics at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, he travelled all over the world. In 1954, while serving in the French army, he met Larry Collins, a Yale graduate and draftee, to form an abiding friendship and literary partnership that produced renowned books such as Freedom at Midnight, O Jerusalem!, Is Paris Burning? and The Fifth Horseman. Dominique supported many humanitarian projects including refuge centres for leprosy and polio-afflicted children in Kolkata. He was also a close associate of Mother Teresa. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 2008.
