“If a man, a woman, a child, are suffering and nobody wants to help them, you will hear anything. You will hear all the excuses, all the justifications, all the right reasons, not to reach out to them. When it comes to not helping someone, you will hear anything. Starting with silence.”

 


 

Daniel Pennac a world-renowned author, is a reference figure of contemporary French culture. He has been writing all his life: from the amazing success stories written round the character of Benjamin Malaussène and his multi-ethnic family, to plays and monologues, books for children and essays.
