About this Event

Books & Books is proud to present an evening with Marie Griessinger Tapie discussing TAPIE, comme Bernard.
Bernard Tapie, one of France’s most recognizable figures—a businessman, sports club owner, and politician. He owned Adidas and one of the most famous soccer teams in the world , Olympique de Marseille. In 2023, Netflix created a tv-show based on his life, called TAPIE. Marie Tapie, Bernard’s daughter-in-law, shares a glimpse of his final years in her latest book.
This event is FREE and open to the public and books will be available for purchase the night of the event! Please RSVP only if you intend to join us.



About the Book:



FRENCH

" Bernard, tu me laisseras écrire un livre sur toi, un jour...
Tu me regardes, interloqué. Je continue :
–; ... sans tout changer derrière...?
–; Évidemment. "

Marie a 16 ans lorsqu'elle rencontre Laurent, fils cadet de Bernard Tapie.

Des premiers échanges avec celui qui deviendra son beau-père à la naissance d'une grande complicité, Marie immortalise dans son journal les moments partagés, des plus cocasses aux plus graves. Sans fard ni concessions.

Avec le recul de trois années de deuil, elle reprend le fil des souvenirs et invite amis fidèles et témoins singuliers à évoquer leur Bernard ou leur Tapie pour tenter avec eux, l'espace d'un instant, de combler le vide laissé par cet homme hors du commun...

Un bouleversant hommage à Bernard Tapie. Au-delà du récit personnel, un texte où l'intime rejoint l'universel.



ENGLISH

Bernard, you’ll let me write a book about you one day... You look at me, puzzled. I continue: – ... without changing everything behind...? – Of course."

Marie is 16 years old when she meets Laurent, the youngest son of Bernard Tapie. From the first exchanges with the man who will become her stepfather to the birth of a deep complicity, Marie immortalizes in her journal the moments shared, from the most amusing to the most serious. Unvarnished and without compromise. With three years of mourning behind her, she picks up the thread of memories and invites loyal friends and unique witnesses to talk about their Bernard or their Tapie, in an attempt, with them, for a brief moment, to fill the void left by this extraordinary man...

A moving tribute to Bernard Tapie. Beyond the personal story, a text where the intimate meets the universal.
