«La Grande Vie, suivi de Peuple du ciel» is a volume of two stories by J. M. G. Le Clézio, published by Gallimard jeunesse in paperback, in French.
The volume brings together two stories. In «La Grande Vie», two orphan girls, Pouce and Poussy, raised by the same adoptive mother and so close they seem like twins, share dreams of travel and faraway countries; one day they decide to take a train to Monte Carlo with almost no money to make their way in life. «Peuple du ciel» completes the edition.
Originally published in 1986, this volume appeared in 1990 in the Folio Junior collection (no. 554), with illustrations by Georges Lemoine.
Aimed at young readers aged 9 to 12 and at readers interested in Le Clézio's short fiction in French.
