A romantic, thrilling memoir that has become a French classic

'You will be a great hero, a general, Gabriele d'Annunzio, Ambassador of France!'

For his whole life, Romain Gary's fierce, eccentric mother had only one aim- to make her son a great man. And she did. This, his thrilling, wildly romantic autobiography, is the story of his journey from poverty in Eastern Europe to the sensual world of the C te d'Azur and on to wartime pilot, resistance hero, diplomat, filmmaker, star and one of the most famed French writers of his age.
