«Au bord de la mer violette» is the novel by Alain Jaubert, published by Gallimard in paperback (304 pages, in French).
In the summer of 1875, a young Frenchman and a young Pole meet at the port of Marseille and share dreams of exotic travels marked by Homer, Hugo, Verne and Baudelaire. Their lives follow parallel paths between the Commune and the First World War without meeting again, until they become two legendary figures of literature.
Published in 2013 in Gallimard's «nrf» collection, this edition bears the subtitle «roman» on the cover.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and historical narratives focused on personal destinies.
Alain Jaubert was a French writer and journalist, producer and director of television, producer of the magazine Les Arts - France 3 and Oceaniques from 1990 to 1993 and author and director of the series "Palettes" since 1988. On 29 May 1971, he was victim of a "beating" in a police van when he wanted to accompany a person taken to the police station. The case made a great noise considering the personality of the journalist, then working for Le Nouvel Observateur. Jaubert died on 15 March 2025, at the age of 84.
