...> About The Book
"Ma Vie, Mon Rêve" (meaning "My Life, My Dream" in English) is an auto-biography, in wich Celine has contributed to different steps of the writing. It was co-written by Georges-Hebert Germain, who has already wrote on Celine with the authorized biography titled "Celine" (1997) and "Celine: The Authorized Biography" (English version from 1998). The English version of "Ma Vie, Mon Rêve" was renamed "My Story, My Dream". This book presents the feeling and spirit wich Celine went through during different moments in her life and career. The book is also an unforgettable true story of courage, perseverance, dedication, and devotion, told with the wide-eyed honesty of someone who has basked in the glowing adoration of millions of fans but has never lost touch with her working-class roots. Here is a book for anyone who has ever wondered about the real person behind the magnificent voice. Touching and funny, fascinating and uplifting, it is an exquisitely detailed portrait of a remarkable woman who has never backed away from any challenge, even the most daunting challenges of the heart. It´s a great book to complement to "Celine: The Authorized Biography", as it presents less facts and mainly relies on the exploration of Celine the woman, and not Celine the singer. The book was published in several languages, to the delight of fans around the world. It contains 293 pages and 32 photos (in 16 pages).
