“He was the one who broke the deadlocks”: Albert Londres, the prince of great reporters. Class, elegance, freedom and independence of mind, audacity and curiosity, taste for formula and verve, a voracious appetite for adventure.
He was this man of the pen doubled as a white knight and a righter of wrongs, defender of great humanitarian causes, slayer of injustices. He escaped from a novel by Joseph Conrad or from a Rimbaudian legend.
