Albin Michel, 448 p., €23.90.

French novel. Star actor in “Death in Venice”, Björn Andrésen, an unknown 15-year-old, was chosen by Luchino Visconti for his fragile and insolent beauty. This adolescent’s plunge into the world of cinema was dizzying. “The Crown of the Serpent”, by Guillaume Perilhou, ed. from the Observatory, €20
