«Battements de coeur» is the short story collection by Jean-Denis Bredin, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Stories of characters who love unto death: a governess who adores other people's children, a scout captivated by his companions, a Jewish student whose dream is snatched away by the yellow star, and a man who wants to marry a rabbit. Bredin shows hearts that beat too strongly and that death silences.
The work was originally published in 1991 and corresponds to number 9565 of the Le Livre de Poche collection.
Will appeal to readers of French literature and of short stories about passions and fate.
Jean-Denis Bredin was a French attorney and founding partner of the firm Bredin Prat. He was widely admired as an author-commentator, both for his novels and for his non-fiction works, with a particular focus on recent and contemporary history. On 15 June 1989, he was elected to membership of the Académie Française, becoming the twentieth occupant of seat 3, which had been vacated through the death of Marguerite Yourcenar. His daughter, Frédérique Bredin, served between 2013 and 2019 as President of the French National Center of Cinematography and the moving image.
