More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Douarnenez in Brittany, this book explores the life and work of Georges Perros, a poet who shunned fame for a simpler existence. Known for his introspective and poignant writing, Perros's most notable works include autobiographical poetry and the acclaimed "Papiers colles," a collection of maxims and short narratives that reflect on the human experience. This first English translation offers a glimpse into his sensitive and cultivated mind, showcasing his unique ability to distill profound thoughts into concise, impactful prose.
