Max Gallo (7 January 1932 - 18 July 2017) was a French writer, historian and politician.
The son of Italian immigrants, Max Gallo's early career was in journalism. At the time he was a Communist (until 1956). In 1974, he joined the Socialist Party. On April 26, 2007, the French Academy recorded his candidacy for its Seat 24, formerly held by the late Jean-François Revel. He was elected to the French Academy on 31 May 2007.
Déjà, j’aime bien le style de narration de Max Gallo, donc difficile de donner une critique pour un livre qui me tient à cœur, étant ex-Niçoise j’ai bien apprécié le descriptif non seulement des lieux, mais des gens qui ont peu à peu peuplé la ville et la région. J’entame le deuxième volet.
