About the book: 2010 / This novel is surprisingly similar to a Japanese watercolor or an old photo, slightly yellowed by time, in which the face of an unearthly beauty appears through the web of time. On its pages, the secret world of the world screen star, the great and divine Greta Garbo, comes to life. The author of the novel, Maurice Audebert, does not set out to tell us the whole truth about the actress. For him, she forever remains inaccessible, and her secrets remain unknown. Therefore, Odebert only very delicately touches the era of Greta Garbo, as if to a thin ray that has absorbed the light of a departed star. Maurice Odebert is a philosophy teacher, actor, director, author of more than fifty plays and two novels.
