Nekonečne dlhá a trýznivá je noc, ktorá vyvoláva nádeje a pochybnosti v hrdinovom srdci. Uviazla jeho dcéra v špine a neresti veľkomesta, a či ju nájde čistú a nevinnú, ako keď odchádzala z rodičovského domu?

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.

Bernard Clavel dans Le voyage du père fait une comparaison amère entre la grande ville (ici Lyon mais n’importe quelle grande ville ferait l’affaire) et la campagne, la montagne, le pays. Le père, figure centrale du récit, doit aller à la ville pour essayer de trouver sa fille ainée. Il découvre là un endroit terrifiant qui semble avoir transformé sa fille au-delà de l’imaginable. Il s’agit d’un romain court et facile à lire.
