The novels “Lover's Fair”, “Zelie in the Desert” and “Harmony” (filmed in 1979 by A. Delon) were created by masters of French prose of the 20th century: member of the Goncourt Academy Philippe Hériat (1898–1971), member of the French Academy Marcel Arlan (1899–1986), winner of a number of prestigious literary awards, Jean Frestier (1914–1983). The eternal literary theme is love - and three such dissimilar variants of its development, three original creative manners - and a high level of artistry common to all three novels.
