François Truffaut and Friends
One of François Truffaut's most poignantly memorable films, Jules and Jim, adapted a novel by the French writer and art collector Henri-Pierre Roch. The characters and events of the 1960s film were based on a real-life romantic triangle, begun in the summer of 1920, which involved Roch himself, the German-Jewish writer Franz Hessel, and his wife, the journalist Helen Grund.

The Prose Fiction of Louise Von François (1817-1893)
Louise von François (1817-1893) was a German realist writer whose work appeared in several editions during her lifetime and was translated abroad.

Through a study of ten representative texts, most of which have not been subject to detailed literary analysis in the past, the author considers François's powerful portrayals of female self-reliance, and seeks to elucidate aspects of her most cherished convictions, which centred on values of honour and duty, and on a vision of a more equitable and decent society.

Early Film Criticism of Francois Truffaut
Before turning to filmmaking, Francois Truffaut was a film critic writing for Cahiers du Cinema during the 1950s.
