«Belle Époque» is the novel by Jean Gruault and François Truffaut published by Gallimard in paperback (392 pages, in French).
In the Paris of 1900, the industrialist Lucien Lachenay saves Alice Avellano from a violent husband on a night train and falls in love with her. Their relationship intersects with a young anarchist and a plot of passions, betrayals and industrial espionage that leads to the dawn of the First World War. The work, written by the authors of the television series' screenplay, portrays the end of an era through historical figures such as Marcel Proust.
Work published in 1996 by Éditions Gallimard. The subtitle of the edition is «roman».
For readers of French fiction interested in the turn of the century and in the creative collaboration between filmmaker François Truffaut and screenwriter Jean Gruault.

François Roland Truffaut was a French filmmaker, actor, and critic. He is widely regarded as one of the founders of the French New Wave. Truffaut came under the tutelage of film critic Andre Bazin as a young man and was hired to write for Bazin's Cahiers du Cinéma, where he became a proponent of the auteur theory, which posits that a film's director is its true author.
