En savoir plus sur le livre
Frederick Forsyth, born in Kent in 1938, has always been a man of action. Engaged at 18 as a pilot in the R.A.F., he then embarked on a brilliant career as a reporter. By the age of 30, he was the only Western correspondent admitted to East Berlin. From journalism, he retains efficiency, a fast, incisive style, and a blunt, unsparing gaze. Yet he does not forget emotion, which aligns present history with the vast tapestry of individual destinies. The Day of the Jackal features an assassination attempt on General de Gaulle. The Odessa File involves a plot by former SS members against Israel. The Dogs of War tells of a mercenary commando overthrowing an African president. Behind these political upheavals lie hatreds, ideals, or sordid interests: the violence of an era. In these three novels, Frederick Forsyth reveals the mechanisms, not merely as a chronicler, but as an authentic writer. He remains the master of a literary genre increasingly appreciated, to which he has given its rightful place.
