Company and cultural partner pack · Working proposal
The Night of Two Centuries
A proposed international launch programme bringing Raphaël Pathé’s novel to audiences through public readings, author talks and special cultural events.
First-phase route proposed: Paris · London · New York · Los Angeles
Dates, venues, host organisations and final budget are not yet confirmed.
The project
A family saga brought to the public
The Night of Two Centuries is Book One of A Pathé Family Saga, a comic, extravagant and magical historical novel around the Pathé brothers, early cinema and a shared dream that crosses from New York in 1899 to Strasbourg in 1994.
The manuscript is complete and in its final reread before publication. The proposed programme brings the author to libraries and cultural venues for readings and conversations, alongside selected special launch events.
The Association’s fundraising target is for its public cultural programme. Book production and book sales are outside this event budget.
