The President’s Hat (“Pălăria Președintelui”) is a humorous novel in which the action takes place at the end of the year 1986, starring a hat with exceptional powers, such as its first owner, François Mitterrand. Being forgotten on the table in a restaurant, it comes to the hand of a regular accountant who will radically change his life. Forgotten in the luggage net of a train, the hat reaches Fanny Marquant which gives her the courage to leave her lover. All of these are just a small part of the President’s Hat trip that the author invites you to discover.
