Le Carcajou
Quatre Indiens du Canada s’en vont « trapper » en plein hiver dans la taïga. Mais ceux-ci ne sont plus jeunes, le froid est mordant et le gibier est rare, car l’homme a attaqué la forêt ; déboisant à outrance, il a détruit les équilibres naturels…
Dans cette ambiance crépusculaire rôde le carcajou, sorte d’incarnation du mal, féroce et cruel, qui dévore tout sur son passage. Waboos, le plus âgé des chasseurs, se lance à sa poursuite … Mais que faire contre le mal ?

Clavel was born in Lons-le-Saunier. From a humble background, he was largely self-educated. He began working as a pastry cook apprentice when he was 14 years old. He later had several jobs until he began working as a journalist in the 1950s. After the war, he worked for the social insurance, and he could not dedicate himself to literature until 1964. He has lived and worked in many places and lived in Savoy until his death.
His first novel was L'Ouvrier de la nuit (Night Worker, 1956). He later published works for young people and numerous novels, at times organised into series: La grande patience (The Great Patience, 4 volumes — 1962–1968), Les Colonnes du ciel (Heaven's Pillars, 5 volumes — 1976–1981), or Le Royaume du nord (Northern Kingdom, 6 volumes — 1983–1989).[2]

Une grosse claque... D'abord un peu délicat à appréhender, on s'aperçoit bien vite que la pénibilité est voulue. Jusqu'à cette fin grandiose !
C'est un livre que je vais garder !!
