This man has everything to be happy, but… he’s in love. To seduce the woman he loves, he does everything he can: climbing to the top of a pyramid or a coconut tree without any help, singing romantic songs, wearing fashionable boots, dressing like a millionaire, a lion, a tamer lion?! Nothing helps, she doesn’t bother to glance at him. And when in the end, he manages to draw her attention, it’s not for the right reasons… Is this love doomed to failure?

Published in 1992, this little book is a magnificent declaration to love, to the more or less successful attempts to meet others without losing oneself, to the existential questions it raises and to the power of the feelings felt.
