«Cannibale» is the historical novel by French writer Didier Daeninckx, published by Folio in paperback (107 pages, in French).
In the Paris of the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, the death of the marigot crocodiles forces the organizers to strike a deal with a German circus: they will hand over Kanaks in exchange for new reptiles. Inspired by a real event, the novel portrays the mentalities of the era and evokes the uprisings that would shake New Caledonia half a century later.
This French-language edition, published in 1999, belongs to the Folio collection from Gallimard.
For readers of historical and social fiction interested in French colonialism and little-known episodes in the memory of New Caledonia.
Didier Daeninckx is a French author and left-wing politician of Belgian descent, best known for his romans noirs.
