Russian readers met this author when J.-M. Genassia published his first book, “The Club of Incorrigible Optimists,” which was awarded the Prix Goncourt by French lyceum students. The writer's second book, The Wonderful Life of Ernesto Che, cemented his reputation as a great storyteller. The new book, Deceive Death, is both an adventure novel and a love story. Deceive Death is the nickname that Marine Thomas Larch, the son of an Englishman and an Indian woman, received after fighting in many hot spots on the planet and miraculously surviving in the most disastrous situations. He becomes a national hero, they write about him in newspapers, make TV reports and documentaries. But will the naive and courageous Thomas be able to survive in his homeland, India, and connect the broken threads of fate?..
