«Les yeux d'Irène» is the novel by Jean Raspail, published by Albin Michel in paperback (315 pages, in French).
The novel follows a wealthy man trapped between lovelessness and despair; along his journey appear a monastery in Auvergne, landscapes of Brittany, and a play of planes between dream and reality that leads to a disturbing revelation.
The work was first published in 1984 and bears the subtitle «roman» on the cover.
Jean Paul Raspail was a French explorer, novelist and travel writer. He was a recipient of the prestigious French literary awards Grand Prix du Roman and Grand Prix de littérature by the Académie Française. The French government honoured him in 2003 by appointing him to the Legion of Honour, with the grade of Officer. Although the majority of his books are travelogues or novels about historical figures, exploration and indigenous peoples, internationally, he is best known for his controversial 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints, which is about mass third-world immigration to Europe.
