When they asked their friend if they could write an ""intellectual biography"" of him, he agreed, throwing open all of his voluminous papers (he kept notes on everything he read). This second volume of their biography has taken five years to research and write. Although the husband and wife team are bilingual and live in Toronto, they write in French. The translation is provided by GEORGE TOMBS, a well-regarded translator based in Montreal." Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
