Flammarion

The novel, published by Flammarion, recounts a chain of events that led to the death of Giraud’s partner in 1999, exploring the causes of the motorcycle accident that killed him and the tiny twists of fate that might have prevented it.

Daphne handles cultural exhibitions at Dior, and Maxime is an editor at the publisher Flammarion.

To scientists like Flammarion, the study of the atmosphere was the era’s key scientific challenge.

French astronomer Camille Flammarion wrote that the atmosphere was “an ethereal sea reaching over the whole world; its waves wash the mountains and the valleys, and we live beneath it and are penetrated by it.”

Two years later, he published an English translation of Flammarion’s account of his balloon travels.
