🎶 The first notes of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1 opened the show, with publishing houses and publicists holding their breath, hoping their authors’ performances would spark viewers’ curiosity, sending them rushing to bookstores the next day.

✒ From 1975 to 1990, during prime time, Bernard Pivot, an insatiable reader and lover of words and life, hosted this unforgettable show, etched in everyone’s memory.
