«Le météorologue» is the novel by Olivier Rolin, published by Seuil/Paulsen in paperback (205 pages, in French).
A narrative that reconstructs the life of Alexéi Féodossévitch Vangengheim, a Soviet meteorologist arrested in 1934 as a «saboteur». Confined in labour camps, he sent his young daughter drawings, herbaria and riddles until his death; the discovery of those letters leads Rolin to investigate his fate and the tragedy of Stalinism.
Originally published in 2014, it is part of Seuil's «Fiction & Cie» collection and is inspired by the real correspondence between meteorologist Alexéi Vangengheim and his daughter.
For readers interested in Soviet history, biographies and narratives that combine research and literature.
Olivier Rolin is a French writer. He won the Prix Femina in 1994, for his novel Port-Soudan.
