Anne Philipe, née Anne Marie Nicole Ghislaine Navaux, was born in Brussels, Belgium. She studied philosophy before leaving Belgium to live in France. In 1938, she married François Fourcade, an Orientalist, with whom she had a son, and was known as Nicole Fourcade. In 1946, she went to China to join her husband, who was serving as a cultural advisor to the French Embassy in Nanking. They traveled to India in 1948 along the ancient Silk Road with a caravan, making her the first known Frenchwoman to cross the desert of Sinkiang. She would later recount the story of this journey in her 1955 book, Caravanes d'Asie (Caravans of Asia). After a divorce from her first husband, she remarried in 1951 to French actor Gérard Philipe, and was known thereafter as Anne Philipe. The couple had two children. She reported for Le Monde and Libération on events in Venezuela, Japan, and Cuba, and made documentary films on Asia and Africa. She may be best known for her autobiographical book Le Temps d'un soupir (No Longer Than a Sigh, 1963) about the final weeks of her life with Philipe, who died in 1959, just short of his 37th birthday. Her other books included Souvenirs (1960), Les Rendez-vous de la colline (1966), Spirale (1971), Ici, là-bas, ailleurs (Here, There Elsewhere, 1974), Un été près de la mer (A Summer by the Sea, 1982), and Je l'écoute respirer (I Listen to Breathe, 1984). She also published L'Éclat de la Lumière (1978), a series of interviews with the painters Vieira da Silva and Árpád Szenes.

This is very dated. Anne Philipe and her then husband François travelled from Nankin to India by plane, jeep and caravan in 1948 along the silk road, through the Pamir mountains on horses, mules and camels. She is the first French woman to travel through the Sin-Kiang desert. She later divorced François and married French actor Gérard Philipe.

Her account of her silk road travel written in 1955, is interesting sometimes, very very dated in others. Especially all the commentary on race and politics. It's very colonial in tone in concordance with the period when it was written.

The most interesting part is the path through the desert from Kaghgar through the Pamir to the frontiers with Cachemire. Those pages are brimming with her passion and her love for adventure. 20 pages at most on a 250 pages book. Hence the 2 stars.

C'est un été radieux, comme si les beaux jours ne devaient jamais cesser d'être beaux. Les grandes personnes et les enfants sont vacants, jouant ou rêvant entre la mer et les vignes, dans la chaleur heureuse. Tant de lumière, de paix, de joie présente et promise - une jeune femme attend un enfant pour bientôt - finissent étrangement par vous serrer le cœur. On se sent pris d'angoisse et on s'en veut, puisque rien ne la justifie. C'est le miracle et l'art de ce livre. Un rocher en équilibre, la chute d'une feuille suffisent à nous troubler. ' Tu as remarqué, dit un personnage, quand on est le plus heureux, on pense à la mort '. La mort qui nous attrape aussi simplement qu'un serpent avale un lapin.… (mais)

" Ici ", " là-bas ", " ailleurs " sont des lieux impondérables où se situe l'écrivain. Un intérieur proche du Sénat, la cour d'un immeuble, un ouvrier qui se tue en tombant de son échafaudage, une femme enceinte qui a peur, la guerre du Vietnam, une rencontre en U.R.S.S., un avortement, le désert du Turkestan et ses caravanes, etc., sont autant de repères dramatiques, de bonheurs secrets, de nostalgies profondes, capables de nous restituer par demi-teintes l'infinie complexité du monde.… (mais)
