Used book – Les amis sont de passage, Madeleine Chapsal

From the first bonds formed on school benches, to professional camaraderie, to the fleeting or lasting, trivial or profound connections we make with others, how many friendships will have populated our lives?

Friends for a day, lost friends, useful friends, faithful friends, able to withstand our neglect or mistakes; intellectual, social, or sensual friendships... Madeleine Chapsal speaks here of all these nuances, blending reflection with confidences, gaiety with sincerity. With one conviction: friends are not just the champagne of life or confidants on bad days. Friendship withstands absence and age. It knows how to ward off the demons of jealousy and possessiveness. Throughout our existence, it offers us the joy of shared secrets.
