David Djaïz publishes “The Method,” a novel that delves into the heart of Constantinople at the beginning of the 20th century.

The book recounts the dog cull, an operation to exterminate more than 100,000 stray dogs in the city, led by Paul Remlinger, a French microbiologist trained by Louis Pasteur.

This dog cull, though tragic, is a historical event that marked the city during a period of significant transformation.

David Djaïz explains in the program Parlons-en why he chose to tell this story blending real facts and fiction.
