Pascal Quignard

Pascal Quignard (born April 23, 1948) is a French writer born in Verneuil-sur-Avre, Eure.

But his most popular book is probably Tous les matins du monde (All the Mornings in the World), about 17th-century viola de gamba player Marin Marais and his teacher, Sainte-Colombe, which was adapted for the screen in 1991, by director Alain Corneau.

Tous les matins du monde, starring Jean-Pierre Marielle, Gérard Depardieu and son Guillaume Depardieu, was a tremendous success in France and sold 2 million tickets in the first year.

The soundtrack was certified platinum (500,000 copies) and contributed to musician Jordi Savall’s international celebrity.
