«Des châteaux en Allemagne» is the novel by Pierre-Jean Rémy, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (317 pages, in French).
The novel follows Joseph Binet, an 18th-century French painter exiled in Germany, who lives for and through painting: he paints to earn a living and to preserve something of himself, but he knows his talent does not match the great masters. The work is a tragicomedy about art, exile and identity, set in Baroque Germany.
The work was first published in 1987; this paperback edition from Le Livre de Poche dates from 1989.
For readers of historical fiction and stories about artists, exile and creation.
