Secret

Growing up in post-war Paris as the sickly only child of glamorous, athletic parents, the narrator invents a make-believe brother - more brilliant than he can ever be. It is only when the boy begins talking to an old family friend that he comes to realize that his imaginary sibling had a real predecessor.

Crescut in Parisul de dupa razboi ca unicul copil bolnav al unor parinti fermecatori si atletici, naratorul inventeaza un frate simulat - mai stralucit decat poate fi vreodata. Abia cand baiatul incepe sa vorbeasca cu un vechi prieten de familie, isi da seama ca fratele sau imaginar a avut un predecesor adevarat.
