Summary:	From Poneys mauves to Taxi mauve, Michel Deon (1919-2016) left many books in our library ideal. His style, grace and gravity, his sense of rhythm and his look on history ensure his work a brilliance forever intact. In the 1950s, along with Roger Nimier, Jacques Laurent and Antoine Blondin, he was part of the adventure of the Hussars, under the benevolent eyes of seniors like Jacques Chardonne and Paul Morand. But Michel Déon embodies a way of being and writing that is irreducible to the clichés of which he has sometimes been decked out. His work, rich in fifty titles, is a universe filled with elective affinities, attitudes, feelings, reflexes shaping an art of living where enchantment quarrels with melancholy. Through this book, Christian Authier invites us to visit the "worlds" of Michel Deon, who lived as a hero of romance between France, Greece and Ireland throughout the XX th century. From L'Action Frangaise to the French Academy, in all the circles he lived with, he remained a singularly free man.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Editions Séguier.
