«Les Ogres anonymes» is a volume of two short stories by Pascal Bruckner, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback in 2001 (157 pages, in French).
In the tale, Balthus Zaminski, an ogre from a good family who loves music, movies and fashion, promises his servant to stop eating children, but his ancestral appetite returns. The servant turns to specialists, a yoga teacher and tranquilizers. The volume brings together two tales of ferocious humor about the possibility of changing one's own nature.
The work was originally published in 1998; this French paperback edition appeared on September 3, 2001.
For adult readers: these are tales with a fable-like air, black humor and a satirical look at human appetites.
Pascal Bruckner is a French writer, one of the "New Philosophers" who came to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s. Much of his work has been devoted to critiques of French society and culture.
