«L'Enfant» is the autobiographical novel by Jules Vallès, published by Flammarion in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The novel follows Jacques Vingtras, a nineteenth-century boy who feels unhappy at school and misunderstood by his parents. Between sad episodes and others that are tender and funny, the narrator keeps his humor even in misfortune; his memories sketch a critique of education, the family and the institutions of the era.
First volume of the «Jacques Vingtras» trilogy, in the Étonnants Classiques collection, with an introduction and activity dossier by Patrice Kleff.
French edition with didactic apparatus, intended for literature students and for readers approaching Vallès for the first time.
Jules Vallès was a French journalist, author, and left-wing political activist.
