«Alexis» is the long letter of a man to his wife about the failure of his marriage and his lost struggle against his true nature; «Le Coup de Grâce» is set in the Baltic States (1919-1920), where a woman offers herself to a man who rejects her, in a tale of loyalty and shared danger.
Volume of 248 pages in French, published in 1978; belongs to the Folio collection (no. 1041) of Gallimard.
Intended for readers of French literature and classic twentieth-century fiction interested in stories of identity and personal conflict.
