Synopsis
Born to a Jewish family in Paris, 1925, Lanzmann's first encounter with radicalism was as part of the Resistance during the Nazi occupation. He and his father were soldiers of the underground until the end of the war, smuggling arms and making raids on the German army. After the liberation of France, he studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, making money as a student in surprising ways (by dressing as a priest and collecting donations, and stealing philosophy books from bookshops). It was in Paris however, that he met Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. It was a life-changing meeting. The young man began an affair with the older de Beauvoir that would last for seven years. He became the editor of Sartre's political-literary journal, Les Temps Modernes - a position which he holds to this day - and came to know the most important literary and philosophical figures of postwar France. And all this before he was thirty years old... Written in precise, rich prose of rare beauty, organized - like human recollection itself - in interconnected fragments that eschew conventional chronology, and describing in detail the making of his seminal film Shoah, The Patagonian Hare becomes a work of art, more significant, more ambitious than mere memoir. In it, Lanzmann has created a love song to life balanced by the eye of a true auteur.

Review
A breathless book. The zest for adventure is compelling, the writing fluent and inventive, the character sketches dazzling, the action sequences enthralling' * New Statesman * Full of passion and conviction, The Patagonian Hare is a remarkable account of an extraordinary life * Sunday Times * Extraordinary... The Patagonian Hare is monstrously vain, a rodomontade of Lanzmann's triumphs, as well as cinemtaically vivid, bursting with memorable stories and endlessly fascinating * Sunday Telegraph *
