This is the second edition of the French version of the wonderful well-known book “Proofs from the BOOK” by M. Aigner and G.M. Ziegler. It corresponds to the third English version and thus incorporates all the most recent changes of this book.

The quality of the translation is excellent: the French language is very good and quite pleasant. A tiny remark: as in the English version, in many places punctuation could be improved, in particular when a sentence finishes by a formula generally there is no final “.” and this may cause some difficulties to follow the proofs. A suggestion: in the chapter on irrational numbers there is a proof (of course a nice one) of the irrationality of the number e 2 , this proof may be adapted at once to show that e is not a quadratic irrationality ...
