Osty His name, his surname, first name John, a native of Lozere, in 1920, he was the nephew of the famous canon Osty, tireless reader and translator of the Bible . It was not twenty years old when in 1939 he voluntarily enlisted and went to fight on the front. In 1942, he passed through Spain to join the Free French Forces in London. His courage, determination in the war against the Nazis won him many decorations, which he never did state. After
war, he became as great reporter daily Paris-Presse and the weekly, while exciting and prestigious Paris Match, so he "covered" the major conflicts around the world, until Korea, where he was seriously injured. Having won the Albert Londres, he devoted himself to writing novels, obviously inspired by his "Baroudi," all of which experienced a huge success. It contains strong reflections on the tactics and strategy on the mindset of men "born for war," no future without illusions.

For him, for us all, for those who live, for those who are dying, this moment of peace music, with reviews and excerpts, filmed during interpretation, indispensable, Requiem by Gabriel Fauré (Accentus Naïve editions), directed by Laurence Equilbey.
