Books & Articles


This slowly growing, necessarily uncomplete list of books and articles by and on Romain Gary is a possible source for downloading for all of you Gary-lovers.

The books have been scanned by optical character recognition software and proof-read with every possible care. Remaining errors that escaped my probing eyes are most welcome to be reported to .

The texts wait on my hard disk for an ordering e-mail and may be sent to you in the form of an ASCII-file, Word for Windows 2.0 or MacWriteII-format (good for italic text which the ASCII-format does not contain), RTF, PDF or whatever your respective word-crunchers see fit to digest. (Please state your means of un-stuff-zipping-un-whatever.) Furthermore I have to stress the important issue of existing copyrights that are still with the original publishers, which means that every use of the texts is strictly for private use only.

But for the book-lovers among you I would like to suggest to buy the real thing: invest your time and money, point your browser to http://www.abebooks.com/, http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.amazon.fr/, http://www.amazon.de/ or some other used book store, get yourself a printed copy and let some book seller live. Maybe one day the publishers will get the message and print new editions for new generations ...
