It was the era of rock'n'roll and the Algerian War. He was an amateur photographer, a compulsive reader, and a foosball player at the Balto in Denfert-Rochereau. In the back room of the bistro, he met Igor, Leonid, Sacha, Imre, and the others. These men had crossed the Iron Curtain to save their lives. They had abandoned their loves, their families, betrayed their ideals, and everything they were. They found themselves in Paris in this backroom chess club also frequented by Kessel and Sartre. And they were bound by a terrible secret that Michel would eventually discover. This encounter definitively changed the young boy's life. Because they were all incorrigible optimists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA portrait of a generation, a meticulous reconstruction of an era, a bittersweet chronicle of adolescence: Jean-Michel Guenassia achieves an astonishing first novel, both in the scope of the project and in the authenticity that breathes through its pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre \u003c\/strong\u003e: Historical Fiction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher \u003c\/strong\u003e: Albin Michel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat \u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e : 2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pages\u003c\/strong\u003e : 759\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN \u003c\/strong\u003e: 9782226193926\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Grand Bouquin Bleu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57421282083147,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1045\/9994\/5547\/files\/IMG_7908_9cd12359-1419-4b7e-8d72-26de56932d10.jpg?v=1779529674","url":"https:\/\/legrandbouquinbleu.fr\/en\/products\/le-club-des-incorrigibles-optimistes-jean-michel-guenassia","provider":"Le Grand Bouquin Bleu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
