Le Nu Foudroyé

Lucien Clergue (1934-2014)

Synopsis

The book explores the events around June 4 and 5, 1961, focusing on two significant occurrences in France. It details the meeting between Nikita Khrushchev and John F. Kennedy in Vienna and the tragic death of Caroline, a 21-year-old model and speed enthusiast, in Montlhéry. The narrative is enriched by Lucien Clergue’s photographs capturing Caroline’s essence and Gerard Simoen's youthful admiration for her at the age of twelve. Through these themes, the book provides a unique glimpse into personal and historical events, weaving together moments of international importance and intimate personal stories.
