Fuyant les pogroms de Pologne, Jacob installa son cabinet médical à Paris, rue Vaugirard. Sa femme Esther fut heureuse d'adopter Tristan, le fils de Kathleen, une patiente anglaise décédée, plus de chagrin que de tuberculose, cinq ans après le départ de son ami Franz von Hohestein, rappelé à Berlin, alors qu'elle était enceinte. En 1936, la guerre d'Espagne fascinait Daniel, le frère de Jacob, affamé de pureté. Il s'engagea dans la XIIe Brigade Internationale. La réalité le rattrapa au détour des champs de bataille. Puis, vint la déchirure. Daniel rejoignit le 13e Demi-Brigade de la légion étrangère. A Paris, le gouvernement de Vichy interdit la Franc-Maçonnerie. Jacob et ses frères de la loge Diderot firent une dernière réunion clandestine chez leur Vénérable. Dénonciation et trahisons, finirent par éteindre les dernières lumières. Tristan grandit avec la judaïté de ses parents adoptifs qui lui collait à la peau. Epouvantail du racisme. Interrogation identitaire. Qui était-il vraiment ? Un voyage dans sa famille à Londres clarifia son horizon. Péripéties militaires, chausse-trappes, blessures, ... Dans les boursouflures de l'histoire se tissait des fatalités.
Depuis toujours, j'ai observé le monde comme un ballet incessant qui se fond dans le néant. Très tôt, je me suis posé la question du "pourquoi ?". Le pétrissage aride de mon enfance fit germer en moi une passion pour les arcanes de la vie et de la mort, du juste et de l injuste, de la fatalité. Ecrire a été une manière de me réconcilier avec mon cadavre et de m'oublier. Je me suis abreuvé aux sources de la littérature classique et moderne. J'ai d'abord tenté des adaptations pour le théâtre: - Les provinciales de Pascal - La ferme des animaux d'Orwell... Ce chapitre épuisé, à la recherche d'un ancrage social, j'ai fondé une agence de relations presse et de relations publiques à Lyon. Ma plume, chatouillée par les grandeurs de la poésie, à son corps défendant, s'est domestiquée. Elle a emprunté des sentiers raisonnables pour se mettre au service des chefs d'entreprise, des institutions et des grandes familles. Chapelet des années. En 1994, je créais une agence de publicité, tout en gardant partie liée avec l'écriture. Seul le temps me fit défaut pour m 'engager, de manière pleine et entière dans cette voie.
