Even if I lived a hundred lives; I still wouldnt be exhausted. These words capture the intensity of the experiences of Claude Lanzmann; a man whose acts have always been a negation of resignation: a member of the Resistance at sixteen; a friend to Jean-Paul Sartre and a lover to Simone de Beauvoir; and the director of one of the most important films in the history of cinema; Shoah.In these pages; Lanzmann composes a hymn to life that flows from memory yet has the rhythm of a novel; as tumultuous as it is energetic. The Patagonian Hare is the story of a man who has searched at every moment for existential adventure; who has committed himself deeply to what he believes in; and who has made his life a battle.The Patagonian Hare; a number-one bestseller in France; has been translated into Spanish; German; Italian; Hebrew; Polish; Dutch; and Portuguese. Claude Lanzmanns brilliant memoir has been widely acclaimed as a masterpiece; was hailed as "a true literary and historic event" in the pages of Le Monde; and was awarded the prestigious Welt-Literaturpreis in Germany.
