BERNARD-HENRI Lévy, a French public intellectual, was catapulted to fame in 1977 for his book attacking France's Marxist left, Barbarism With a Human Face.
He has since capitalised on that notoriety, publishing dozens of books, writing and directing movies, and regularly appearing on TV as a commentator. His private live is also splashy, having featured a marriage to actress and singer Arielle Dombasle and a relationship with heiress Daphne Guinness.
