| Synopsis: |
THE ASTONISHED MAN is the extraordinary and much-requested first volume of Cendrars's autobiography. After chronicling the author's exploits in the Foreign Legion (including the loss of his arm), the narrative sets off across continents. From Africa to South America, Cendrars encounters everyone from Gallic gipsies to Piquita, the Mexican millionairess. And to all his encounters he brings the vitality, savage humour and vivid observation that characterize his dazzling writing. |
