The former President of the Republic, François Hollande, will be in Nice this Thursday to present and sign his book “Lessons of Power,” which is enjoying genuine success with the public.
Meet at the Masséna Bookstore starting at 4 PM.
Being a former president highlights qualities that were not visible when he was in power. The demonstration by François Hollande: let’s take a moment to consider the current wave of sympathy he generates, which inevitably says something about political life.
For the first time since leaving the Élysée, François Hollande explains himself. He draws human and political lessons from a unique experience.
How does a president live day by day? How does he make decisions in the heat of the moment? How does he act on the international stage? How did he decide, in order to set the country right, to incur unpopularity and misunderstanding among his peers?
In the face of the trials that have bloodied our country, he shares his personal feelings and, through striking portraits of the world’s main leaders, the major challenges facing the planet. He offers sharp insights into the crisis facing European democracy and the future of reformist left.
In his public life, as in the folds of his private life, without indecency but without evasion, he also confesses his regrets. He finally reveals the reasons that led him not to run again and details the complex relationships he maintains with Emmanuel Macron.
A rare document on the exercise of power.
