«Les Abeilles et la Guêpe» is a testimonial account by François Maspero, published by Seuil in paperback (288 pages, in French).
François Maspero interweaves his father's final battle in Buchenwald, the death of his resistance-fighter brother, and his own commitments in Algeria, Latin America, Cuba and the Balkans. Maspero reflects on rebellion, resistance and the meaning of the «bee stings», with an invitation to admire the world rather than destroy it.
The work was published on September 27, 2002 in the Fiction & Cie collection at Seuil, in French.
A work for readers interested in historical memory, testimonies and twentieth-century political commitment.
