Used book – It happened like that, Gérard Depardieu

A unique destiny, a powerful artist, a free man whose words are revealed with accuracy, strength, and modesty.

A magnificent and extravagant artist, Gérard Depardieu has been guided since childhood by his inner voice. It dictates his life, his choices, his way of being and looking at the world. It is this voice, of absolute sincerity, that this book has managed to capture for the first time.

From the very first page, Gérard Depardieu opens his soul to us; we enter his intimate monologue and, in doing so, begin to see the world through his eyes. The eyes of a child who shouldn't have been born, who was rejected by school, who has nothing to lose because he owns nothing, and who will spend his life forcing destiny. A fourteen-year-old delinquent, who became an actor by chance, he created his life as a free man, without prejudice or attachments, ignoring codes, going wherever he wanted to go and always finding sunshine.

"I wouldn't say: 'What does the bottle matter, as long as we have the intoxication?'" he writes, "but rather: 'Give me that bottle, so I can get drunk on what I don't know.'"
