731pages. poche. broché. Durant dix ans, conseiller spécial de François Mitterrand, Jacques Attali a consigné au jour le jour les faits et gestes, les conversations, les débats, les choix dont il a été le témoin ou l'acteur. C'est ce journal de bord qu'il nous livre ici, enrichi de ses notes de travail et des verbatim rendant comte des tête-à-tête entre chefs d'Etat. Document irremplaçable sur l'histoire d'un septennnat de la participation communiste à la conversation au marché, du raz de marée de juin 1981 à la cohabitaton de 1986 -Verbatim est aussi un extraordinaire témoignage sur l'homme Mitterand, ses engangements, sa philosophie, et sur la rélaité quotidienne du pouvoir présidentiel en France. Sans renier ses convictions ni son admiration pour le Président, l'auteur de 1492 et du Premier Jour après moi, lucide et parfois féroce, sait montrer les erreurs comme les réussites, les mesquineries à côté des grandeurs. Un ouvrage déjà classique sur une époque et sur un homme qui n'ont pas fini de susciter le débat et les passions.

Poetry. Bilingual edition translated from the French by Aaron Prevots. In EUROPES, published in French in 2005 and appearing here as a complete bilingual edition, Jacques Reda takes the reader on a leisurely, lyrical journey across the continent, from the bucolic pastures of Switzerland to the urban emptiness of industrial Dresden, and from the monumental churches of Ravenna to the colorful streets of his beloved Paris. Reda's encounters and observations are at once exhilarating and familiar, subverting preconceived notions of travel and home, and providing an unforgettable glimpse of a landscape in flux. With its sumptuous blend of poetry and prose, EUROPES is an endearing and idiosyncratic travelogue.
