Never surrender! Forever invincible!
A young boy accompanies his rebellious grandfather Napoleon in his final battles.
It all starts to go south when Napoleon leaves his wife. He is a young man of 85 years and an ex-boxer who decides to say to hell with it all. He wants a new life. With his aide-de-camp grandson Leonard Bonheur, they begin a merciless rebellion against discipline, conformity and moderation - all the things that take the fun out of life.
They enjoy rowdy bowling games and frantic dancing to old Claude François hits and communicate with each other in Esperanto. The two compadres lie copiously to family and friends and are on the road to some serious troublemaking.
Leonard is determined to spare his grandfather the fate of the elderly and Napoleon will never accept a life in exile in a nursing home.
A phenomenon. The spirited rythm, just like the poetry and the imagination, and the simplicity of the writing remind us the novel by Jonas Jonasson, The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. LE FIGARO LITTÉRAIRE
