About the author
Bernard Clavel
194 books21 followersBernard Charles Henri Clavel (May 29, 1923 – October 5, 2010 was a French writer.
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]
In his writings, he employed simple language and attached importance to humble characters and to the defence of humanist values by questioning violence and war.
He died in Grenoble.

Je lis ceci pour la soirée Bernard Clavel à ma médiathèque locale. C'est une histoire de petits gens (jeune garçons) qui font des petits coups-vol du fromage au fermier. Ils décident de faire une grande coups-vol l'argent de la veille.
Mais un des garçons sent que c'est n'est pas bon et veut essayer d'empêcher ses copains à faire une bêtise.

Un roman qui se lit en quelques heures. L’histoire d’un groupe de jeunes dans un petit village de campagne. Ils rêvent de belles motos et commettent un petit larcin, puis en entreprennent un deuxième pour s’acheter leurs bécanes. Mais ils ne sont pas égaux sur le plan de la motivation et de la peur du risque …

Histoire bien sombre, mais c'est bien écrit !

Un court récit prenant où la tension monte peu à peu. On s'attache vite au personnage de Robert, ses doutes et son sentiment de culpabilité sont bien rendus dans toute leur complexité. On prend aussi plaisir à la description des paysages et de la vie campagnarde.
