Two dear friends just came by, before leaving for a holiday — and gave me "Le Livre du désir" as a christmas present.

It has 274 pages, plus one page of notes, plus seven pages table of contents.

ISBN 978-2-7578-3613-2
(ISBN 978-2-7491-2249-6, 1re publication)

The text on the back of the book ends with the words:

"Traduit de l'anglais par Jean-Dominique Brierre et Jacques Vassal.
La traduction en français a été revue par Leonard Cohen, dont c'est l'une des langues maternelles."

If you will now excuse me, I've got some reading to do...
