«La jument verte» is Marcel Aymé's satirical novel, published by France Loisirs / Gallimard in hardcover (336 pages, in French).
In Claquebue, the birth of a jade-green mare changes the life of Jules Haudouin and his family. Painted in a picture with magical powers, the mare unashamedly witnesses the intimate life of the neighborhood: loves, jealousies, desires and passions. With irony and lightness, Aymé portrays a rural France of the late nineteenth century facing the arrival of modernity.
Originally published in 1933, the novel enjoyed great public success, aided by accusations of licentiousness that threatened to have it withdrawn from sale.
For adult readers of French fiction who appreciate satire, humor and the fantastic in a rural setting.
Marcel Aymé was a French novelist and playwright, who also wrote screenplays and works for children.
