The novel by the outstanding French writer R. Gary (1914–1980), twice (uniquely!) laureate of the Goncourt Prize, deals with the events of World War II in France, the shame of state collaborationism, the heroism of the Resistance Movement, and above all, the indestructible power of memory, hope, and love in human souls, the unity of kindred natures above the roar of weapons, love that is not afraid of the abysses of human baseness.
Despite the seriousness of the themes, the entire work is permeated with subtle humor and irony, inspired by noble feelings.
“Flying Serpents” will uplift and inspire every reader.
