To the End of the World

Therese is a bawdy Parisian actress in her seventies enjoying an energetic affair with a young deserter from the Foreign Legion. Disaster strikes when she is held for questioning following the murder of a local barman. The end of the world is not pure invention. Like all Cendrars's works it has some basis in his adventures and nomadic life; but this roman-a-clef is an original and very funny portrayal of the Paris of the late 1940s and is very much the product of an abundant imagination.Cendrars, Blaise is the author of 'To the End of the World', published 1991 under ISBN 9780720608199 and ISBN 0720608198.
