In this work, published in 1942, Francis Ponge contemplates simple objects of daily life —the candle, the bread, a pebble— and turns them into a subject of poetic reflection. The author combines descriptive precision, humor and emotion, and champions the humility of the small.

Aimed at secondary-school students of French literature and at those preparing for exams with didactic material for analyzing the work.
