Book Description: Two men are buried alongside each other in the cemetery of Montparnasse - one strict upper middle class a firm adherer to the values and principles of the grande bourgeoisie and the other an unconventional man whose exuberant lifestyle and creative imagination echoed in his roaring laughter.
