Title : A Hero - Félicité Herzog - book

Summary :

How far back do we have to go to find the source of a personal tragedy? To the lies of the war, to the grandparents' generation? To those of my "hero" father, who set out to conquer the mythical summit of Annapurna in 1950 and left in the peaks of this glorious ascent a part of himself that would make him perpetually the director of his legend? To the freedom of a seductive and modern mother, too intelligent for her time, too rebellious for her milieu? To the fusional and rival fraternity of two "enfants terribles" raised in a shared solitude and in the cult of exploit? The fact remains that my big brother Laurent, promised a magnificent destiny, will end up as a shaggy and crazy vagabond of the stars, found by the police after months on the run... until his predictable fall. It was him or me: it was him... This novel of our wounded fraternity, I owe it to him. FH
