THE ADVENTURES OF ANTOINE DOINEL: 4 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL SCREENPLAYS by Francois Truffaut

Simon and Schuster, 1971 First US edition, 320 pp., 6" X 9 1/4" Hardcover

Very good

From the film director behind his creation, The Adventures of Antoine Doinel gives readers an exclusive look at the adventures of Antoine Doinel through the screenplays and stills of the four films he appears in.

Thought by many to be the fictional alter ego of Francois Truffaut, Antoine Doinel, played in all movies by Jean-Pierre Leaud, was a fictional character created by Truffaut that depicted many of his own memories ranging from childhood through divorce.

The Adventures of Antoine Doinel is an enchanting look at the character of Antoine through screenplays and stills from four of Truffaut’s most well-known films: The 400 Blows, Love at Twenty, Stolen Kisses, and Bed and Board.
