Who is the real Serge Gainsbourg? On the 25th anniversary of his death, this new biography unearths mysteries about this seemingly provocative yet discreet star...

Everyone knows the celebrity of Serge Gainsbourg, the brilliant musician and creator of talents like France Gall, Françoise Hardy and Vanessa paradis.

But who was the more private Gainsbourg? He who doubted himself, the young man who had a thwarted vocation for painting, the misunderstood musician who was eclipsed by the success of Jane Birkin in the 1970s? The man who directed films, commercials and music videos that have long been forgotten?

In 10 chapters organized thematically, Pierre Mikaïloff reveals an endearing person who left his mark on the history of music.

Pierre Mikaïloff began as the guitarist for the group Désaxés and then for Jacno. After his career as musician came to an end, he turned towards writing. He has written more than 20 books, 5 of which are biographies, including one on Jane Birkin.
