We already know about François Mitterrand’s involvement in the Resistance, opposing General de Gaulle, then his career as a politician. In contrast, we know very little about his childhood and youth. Frédéric Mitterrand wanted to fill this gap. Writing as if young François himself were speaking about his childhood and adolescence, this first-person narrative describes Mitterrand’s provincial and Catholic roots, his deep affection for his older brother (Frédéric’s future father), and the modest family home in the village of Jarnac. All while retracing an important era of history, this book offers new light on the private life of a famous family. Embellished with over one hundred unseen photos, The Land of Innocence takes up the voiceover from François Mitterrand’s eponymous documentary, as seen on the French parliamentary channel.
