Dieu, Mozart, Le Pen et les autres

Synopsis of Dieu, Mozart, Le Pen et les autres

«Dieu, Mozart, Le Pen et les autres» is the satire by François Cavanna, published by Pocket in paperback (245 pages, in French).

François Cavanna starts from the axiom that glory turns whoever achieves it into an impostor and unfolds a gallery of biting portraits of politicians, prophets and famous heroes such as Lenin, Mozart, Pasteur, Confucius and Homer. With text and illustrations by the author himself, the work uses humour and provocation to question the cult of fame.

The 1994 edition bears the subtitle «Les nouveaux imposteurs»; the back cover also cites «Les grands imposteurs» and «Tonton, Messaline, Judas et les autres».

For readers fond of French social satire and the provocative humour of François Cavanna.
