The former polemicist, who came in fourth position in the presidential election of April 2022 with 7.07% of the vote, but who had failed to elect deputies under his colors two months later, returns "to the moments of which he is most proud, his doubts, the lessons learned from the campaign", according to those around him.

"It's not just a story, but also a prospective part: what do we get out of it for tomorrow", continued the same source.

Eric Zemmour had sold more than 250,000 copies of his previous work, "France did not say its last word", published, like his new book, by his own house, Rubempré.

His release must be accompanied by a sustained promotional campaign: in addition to an interview on Wednesday on CNews, of which he was the star columnist for a long time, the former polemicist will begin a signing tour on Thursday in Paris before a trip to Aix-en-Provence (Bouches-du-Rhône) and Orange (Vaucluse) the following week.
