«L'Insurgé» is Jules Vallès's autobiographical novel, published by Folio in paperback format (416 pages, in French).
In this novel, Jules Vallès returns to his alter ego Jacques Vingtras to evoke the Paris Commune of 1871, his sentence, exile, and return after the amnesty. The protagonist awaits the popular uprising against the bourgeoisie while the narrative links his personal fate with a reflection on revolution.
Third volume of the «Jacques Vingtras» trilogy, after «L'Enfant» and «Le Bachelier». Originally published in 1886; this Folio edition is from 1975, edited by Marie-Claire Bancquart.
Work for readers of classic French fiction, interested in nineteenth-century autobiographical narrative and the history of the Paris Commune.
Jules Vallès was a French journalist, author, and left-wing political activist.
