«La clase» is the contemporary fiction novel by François Bégaudeau, published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
During a school year at a public high school on the outskirts of Paris, teacher François and his colleagues try to educate teenagers from diverse cultures and attitudes. Their good intentions clash with the reality of the classroom, a microcosm of contemporary France where the protagonist's frankness and methods end up being questioned.
Originally published in French as «Entre les murs» (2006), translated into Spanish by Julieta Carmona. Its film adaptation, directed by Laurent Cantet in 2008, received the Palme d'Or.
For readers of contemporary fiction and for those interested in public education and intercultural coexistence.
