«Un héros très discret» is the novel by Jean-François Deniau, published by Pocket in paperback (185 pages, in French).
In the Paris of 1944-1945, a jaded man decides to invent a glorious life for himself and pass as a hero. Albert Dehousse makes his way into the Resistance through omissions and allusions, building a shadowy persona. The narrative explores the construction of identity, memory, and the limits of imposture.
The work, originally published in 1989, was adapted into film by Jacques Audiard with Mathieu Kassovitz, Sandrine Kiberlain, and Anouk Grinberg.
For readers of contemporary French fiction, stories about World War II, and plots of identity and imposture.
Jean-François Deniau was a French politician, diplomat, essayist and novelist. Until 1998, he was a member of the Union for French Democracy (UDF).
