Paul Guimard

Paul Guimard (3 March 1921 – 2 May 2004) was a French writer known for combining his passion for writing with his love of the sea.

Guimard was born at Saint-Mars-la-Jaille (Loire-Atlantique). He married Benoîte Groult.

Most of Guimard's novels deal about the role of randomness in life (mainly L'Ironie du sort), time, man's understanding of hidden and ironic structures in which he is trapped. His latest work (Le Mauvais temps) describes a major transformation of a character who finally understands in dramatic circumstances the price of life and the importance of personal choice, changing his desperate life for the best.


“Отивайки си, всеки отнася от вас частица, от която капе кръв. Ставате скелет, защото както сте си мислили, че обичате череши, оказва се, че сте обичали някоя Катрин, която,като си е отишла, е отнесла със себе си вкуса ви към тях.”
