eBook: Sylvestre Bonnard, an esteemed ageing scholar of history and philology, finds himself on a trans-European adventure to track down an important manuscript. Whilst on his travels he meets the granddaughter of his lost love, a young woman named Jeanne. Impassioned to rescue her from the abusive life she is stuck in, Bonnard is forced to commit a crime of love to protect Jeanne. France\'s tender exploration of the relationship between male rescuers and damsels-in-distress is interesting, and acts as a precursor to some of the more explosive films to explore this theme such as Martin Scorcese\'s \'Taxi Driver\' and Lynne Ramsay\'s \'You Were Never Really Here\'. A profound, moving, and award-winning tale, \'The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard\' is a must-read for fans of France who wish to connect with the author\'s origins or anyone who wishes to take their first foray into his compelling body of work.-
