«Le facteur sonne toujours deux fois» is the crime novel by James M. Cain, published by Gallimard in the Folio collection (151 pages, in French).
Frank Chambers travels the roads looking for work and stops at a restaurant run by Nick and his wife Cora. He becomes Cora's lover, and that passion drives them to commit a crime motivated by money and sex. In a dry, rhythmic style, Cain portrays, without moral judgment, ordinary people who fail after chasing the American dream.
Novel originally published in 1934 as «The Postman Always Rings Twice»; this French edition includes a translation by Sabine Berritz.
