A controversial new book examining the "secret life and lovers" of Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is to be published in France this month. Lawyers for French President Nicolas Sarkozy's third wife are said to be bracing themselves for the release of the work by Besma Lahouri. Security around the book is tight and the Paris publishers, Flammarion, have not even disclosed its title. "It's a robust, anything-goes book which contains explosive revelations about everything from Carla's relationship with secret lovers to plastic surgeons," said a publishing source. "The principal story is about a fast-living adventuress with an obsession with wealth and fame. Nobody from Carla's camp has assisted with anything. This is a proper, unbiased investigation into a world-famous former model, pop singer and first lady." Lahouri, who made his name with a biography of French footballer Zinedine Zidane, is currently in hiding and security guards are said to be protecting his work, which is due out in about two weeks. Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy famously declared that "monogamy bores me" just before marrying Mr Sarkozy two years ago. She has had affairs with a string of high-profile men including the English rock stars Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton. A source at the Elysée Palace said any attacks on Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy, including in biographies, would be viewed "very seriously". (Read by Lee Hannon.

法國將于本月出版一本頗具爭議的書，講述法國第一夫人卡拉?布呂尼?薩科齊的“私人生活和秘密情人”。 法國總統(tǒng)尼古拉?薩科齊第三任妻子布呂尼的律師們正為貝斯馬?拉胡里所著的這本新書繃緊神經。此書的保密工作可謂做到了家，巴黎弗拉馬利翁出版社甚至沒有公布書名。 某出版方表示：“這本書內容勁爆，無奇不有，從布呂尼與秘密情人的戀情、到她的整容故事，爆炸性內幕無所不包?！?/p> “這本書主要講述迷戀財富和名望的‘女投機家’布呂尼快速實現(xiàn)了自己的愿望。布呂尼的陣營中沒有人為我們提供‘情報’。這是對世界知名前模特、流行歌手和現(xiàn)任第一夫人的一次恰當?shù)?、公正的調查?！?/p> 拉胡里因執(zhí)筆法國球星齊內丁?齊達內的自傳而名聲大振。由于新書將在兩周內問世，拉胡里目前已不再露面，據(jù)稱該著作已交由安保人員負責。 兩年前，在嫁給薩科齊之前不久，布呂尼曾聲稱“厭煩一夫一妻制”，這在當時廣為流傳。 她曾與英國搖滾明星米克?賈格爾和埃里克?科拉普頓等眾多知名人士傳出緋聞。 愛麗舍宮方面稱，任何針對布呂尼的人身攻擊，包括傳記中的內容，都“非常嚴重”。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網(wǎng)英語點津 Julie 編輯馮明惠） |
