«Les oiseaux vont mourir au Pérou» is the short story collection by Romain Gary, published by Gallimard Education in paperback (288 pages, in French).
The book opens with a man watching birds fall onto the sand of a beach north of Lima; no one knows why they leave the islands to die there. Then, several stories combine irony and a restless gaze on the human; the author himself admits that the collection reveals a single inspiration.
This French edition of 1975 is volume 668 of the Folio collection. The work was first published in 1962 under the title Gloire à nos illustres pionniers.
Work for readers of French fiction and short stories with an ironic register.
