A feverish classic from one of the modern masters of French prose
No one can keep up with Pierre Niox, the speediest antiques dealer
in Paris - although not necessarily the most competent. As he
dashes about at a dizzying pace, his impatience becomes too much to
bear for those around him: his manservant, his only friend and even
his cat abandon him. He begins to find that while he is racing
through life, it is passing him by. But when Pierre falls in love
with the languid, unpunctual Hedwige, the man in a hurry has to
learn how to slow down. This feverish classic by one of the modern
masters of French prose is a witty and touching parable for our
busy times.
