A second wind the true story that inspired the motion picture the intouchables

Philippe Pozzo di Borgo was not in the habit of asking for help. Then, in 1993, a paragliding accident left him a quadriplegic. The only person who wasn't bothered by Philippe's condition was Abdel, the unemployed Algerian immigrant from the outskirts of society who would become Philippe's unlikely caretaker.

  • ""An inspiring, heartfelt, tragi-comic memoir by an aristocratic Frenchman who was paralyzed in a paragliding accident and has to adjust to his new circumstances with the help of his unlikely caregiver-a hot-headed Algerian immigrant with troubles of his own.

  • "Philippe Pozzo di Borgo est né dans une famille noble et mène une vie privilégiée. Après un accident de parapente, qui le laisse tétraplégique, et la mort de sa première épouse Béatrice, toute sa vie bascule: Il découvre la solitude et l'exclusion. Son auxiliaire de vie Abdel, jeune beur de banlieu, devient son <<diable gardien>> et l'aide à retrouver la joie de vivre. (Quelle: Buchdeckel verso)."
  • "Philippe Pozzo di Borgo ist Geschäftsführer der Firma Champagnes Pommery, als er mit dem Gleitschirm abstürzt und vom Hals ab querschnittsgelähmt bleibt. Er ist 42 Jahre alt und braucht einen Intensivpfleger. Der arbeitslose Ex-Sträfling Abdel erscheint zum Vorstellungsgespräch eigentlich nur, um eine Unterschrift fürs Sozialamt zu bekommen. Und kriegt den Job. Mit seiner mitleidslosen, lebensfrohen, ungehobelten und authentischen Art wird Abdel zu Philippes "Schutzteufel". Zehn Jahre lang begleitet er ihn durch alle dramatischen und komischen Momente seines Lebens - und gibt ihm die Lebensfreude zurück."

  • ""Il est insupportable, vaniteux, orgueilleux, brutal, inconstant, humain. Sans lui, je serais mort de décomposition. Abdel m'a soigné sans discontinuité, comme si j'étais un nourrisson. Attentif au moindre signe, présent pendant toutes mes absences, il m'a délivré quand j'étais prisonnier, protégé quand j'étais faible. Il m'a fait rire quand je craquais. Il est mon diable gardien". L'histoire vraie de la rencontre improbable du riche privilégié tétraplégique et du jeune beur de banlieue a inspiré les réalisateurs Olivier Nakache et Eric Toledano pour leur nouveau film "Intouchables", avec François Cluzet et Omar Sy."

  • ""He was unbearable, vain, proud, brutal, inconsistent, human. Without him, I would have rotted to death. . . . He was my guardian devil." As the descendant of two prominent French families and director of one of the world's most celebrated champagne houses, Philippe Pozzo di Borgo was not someone in the habit of asking for help. Then, in 1993, right on the heels of his wife being diagnosed with a terminal illness, a paragliding accident left him a quadriplegic. Passing his days hidden behind the high walls of his Paris townhouse, Philippe found himself the modern equivalent of an "untouchable"'unable to reach out to others, as others were afraid to reach out to him. The only person who seemed unaffected by Philippe's condition was someone who had been marginalized his entire life'Abdel, the unemployed, uninhibited Algerian immigrant who would become his unlikely caretaker. In between dramas and jokes, he sustained Philippe's life for the next ten years. A Second Wind, the basis for the major motion picture The Intouchables, is the inspiring true story of two men who refused to ask for help, and then wound up helping each other."@en
