Intocable

A moving and funny true story about two men who never would have met under ordinary circumstances: a quadriplegic aristocrat who suffered a paragliding accident and a young Algerian from the suburbs with a difficult and proud personality, who becomes the other's carer. In other words, this is the story of two "untouchables": one due to his disability and the other due to his social circumstances. A book of great literary quality, which tells tragic stories with great elegance and also a sense of humour, and without a glimpse of self pity. The novel inspired the film Intocable (Untouchable) by Eric Tolédano and Olivier Nakache
