Paul Guimard


Born
in France
March 03, 1921

Died
May 02, 2004


Paul Guimard (3 March 1921 – 2 May 2004) was a French writer known for combining his passion for writing with his love of the sea.
Guimard was born at Saint-Mars-la-Jaille (Loire-Atlantique). He married Benoîte Groult.
Most of Guimard's novels deal about the role of randomness in life (mainly L'Ironie du sort), time, man's understanding of hidden and ironic structures in which he is trapped. His latest work (Le Mauvais temps) describes a major transformation of a character who finally understands in dramatic circumstances the price of life and the importance of personal choice, changing his desperate life for the best.

“Отивайки си, всеки отнася от вас частица, от която капе кръв. Ставате скелет, защото както сте си мислили, че обичате череши, оказва се, че сте обичали някоя Катрин, която,като си е отишла, е отнесла със себе си вкуса ви към тях.”
Paul Guimard, Le mauvais Temps

“...коледната нощ не обещава нищо хубаво.Ситен студен дъжд загрозява улиците.Само още два градуса под нулата и те ще се покрият със снежен килим ... Всичко щеше да бъде преобразено.
Дали няма да бъде достатъчно и аз да понижа с два градуса собствената си температура, за да не ръми и в душата ми?”
Paul Guimard, Rue du Havre

“Не преобразяваме вече по цели нощи света ...Разменихме белите си нощи и черните си дни срещу черни нощи и бели дни.Загубихме при тази смяна, защото в резултат на втората смесица се получава сиво.При другата, макар и съставена от същите цветове, животът изглежда розов.”
Paul Guimard, Rue du Havre
