'Arc de Triomphe' is a poignant story of love against all odds, a love that brings pain, but also gives endless joy.
The action takes place in Paris on the eve of World War II. The hero is a refugee from Germany, without papers, hiding from both the French and the Nazis, a surgeon saving lives. The heroine is an Italian actress, surrounded by admirers, hot-tempered, like all artists, beautiful and irresistible.
Both the time when the lovers happened to meet and the city, permeated with a sense of impending catastrophe, become the heroes of this novel.
'Arc de Triomphe' has been adapted for the screen twice and continues to captivate readers around the world.
