On June 6, 1944, Frederick Giesbert, assigned to the American army’s 29th division, landed on bloody Omaha Beach, Normandy, an experience from which he never recovered. Three years later, Frederick had returned to his hometown of Chicago, married to a French girl. But when the seemingly happy couple moved to Normandy to make a home with their baby, something in Frederick snapped, and he turned cruel and violent. His son, Franz-Oliver, spent his childhood doing everything he could to defy his father. The American is a son’s fiercely honest and emotionally gripping story of a search for paternal understanding and forgiveness.

Dying Without God

Francois Mitterrand's Meditations on Living and Dying

By: Franz-Olivier Giesbert

Is one ever truly ready to face death? Can one, without faith, view death as a beginning rather than an end? The man dying without God is Francois Mitterrand, who was battling prostate cancer during both of his seven-year terms as President of France. Near the end, he called on a longtime friend, Franz-Olivier Giesbert, to whom he opened his mind as he had to no other person. One of the most complex personages of the century, Mitterrand offers in these pages his final, unforgettable testament.

La dernière fois que j'ai rencontré Dieu

By: Franz-Olivier Giesbert

Autant vous prévenir tout de suite : ceci n’est pas un ouvrage de théologie. Si c’est ce que vous attendez, débarrassez-vous-en sans tarder. J’ai un grand respect pour elle mais, à haute dose, il me semble qu’elle peut tuer la foi. Or, mon sujet, c’est précisément la foi. La foi du charbonnier, celle qui vous donne un sourire stupide du lever au coucher, celle qui vous porte vers les autres, les fleurs, les enfants, les bêtes, celle qui ne s’apprend pas dans les livres. L’existence de Dieu ne se prouve pas, elle ne se prouvera jamais. Elle se sent.
