Hardback with DJ. This beautifully written work is about a little boy who, together with his six siblings, comes of age in a small southwestern French town occupied by Germans during World War II. The boy, who offers us his perspective on a world of innocence and discovery, is sheltered by his loving mother and a protective father anxious to teach his children the importance of thought in action, the difference between right and wrong, the value of experience when making judgments, and the need for human compassion in an intolerant world. Coverdale's translation is superb, mirroring all the nuances and subtleties of the original. Labro is a novelist, journalist, and director of numerous film documentaries and feature films. Named Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Merite and Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur, he has won literary awards such as the Prix Interallie and the Prix Gutenberg des Lecteurs. This is his fourth novel, and the second to be nominated for the Prix Goncourt. A rare pleasure to read. First Edition (1992), First Printing stated. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 56851

From the Dust Jacket: "Set in a small town in southwestern France, LE PETIT GARCON is the endearing story of a boy's coming-of-age during World War II. The youngest of seven children, who record the crucial events and comical characters in their lives in a hallowed family album -- whether it's Furbaire, who rolled his r's, Michigot with his wig, or Dr. Sucre with his bicycle clips -- the little boy quickly learns the importance of compassion in an increasingly intolerant world. As the Nazis occupy the provinces, the little boy's home becomes a safe house for Jewish refugees. There are rumors of deportations, chilling cases of collaboration, heroic stories of the Resistance, and the grisly evidence of reprisals. Through the remarkable example of his father, the little boy comes to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and to appreciate the need for thought in action and for experience as the criterion of judgment. A tender, warmhearted novel about a young boy's moral awakening, LE PETIT GARCON memorably captures the essence and struggle of a small town in war-torn France." .
