«Zanahorio» is the classic children's novel by Jules Renard, published by Gribaudo in hardcover (192 pages, in Spanish).
Zanahorio, so called for his red hair and freckles, is a boy growing up in the French countryside without affection: his family humiliates him and his mother, Mrs. Lepic, punishes him for no reason and twists his words. The boy learns to keep quiet, to resist and to be cleverer than the others, and his everyday adventures tell with rawness a childhood that moves the reader.
Part of the «Clásicos para todos» collection. The work was originally published in 1894 as «Poil de carotte» and is inspired by Jules Renard's childhood. Translation by Manuel Serrat Crespo and Montserrat Mateu.
For readers ages 9 and up who want to discover a classic for young people about childhood and resilience.
Pierre-Jules Renard was a French author and member of the Académie Goncourt, most famous for the works Poil de carotte and Les Histoires Naturelles. Among his other works are Le Plaisir de rompre and the posthumously published Huit Jours à la campagne.
