About this title

Review:

Francois Mitterrand, who died in January at the age of 79 after serving 14 years as president of France, is among the most frequently portrayed men in the history of his country. Scores of articles and books have been written about Mitterrand, before and after his death. In Memoir in Two Voices Mitterrand gets a chance to have the last word and "express my deepest thoughts on a variety of subjects." The book is a record of occasional conversations between the French leader and Elie Wiesel, the Nobel Peace laureate, and is the third Mitterrand book released posthumously (Interrupted Memoirs and On Germany, On France are the others).

About the Author:

In this book, Mitterand talks openly about his life, both personal and political. He turns to Elie Wiesel to join him in a vibrant, vigorous exchange. The topics they discuss in these pages are childhood, faith, war, power, writing, those moments that define us as people. This hardcover book is 177 pages.
