«Au bout du monde» is the historical novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback format (656 pages, in French).
The action alternates between two eras in the Hudson Valley: in the 17th century Dutch settlers dispute the land with the Kitchawanks and the Van Warts exploit the Van Brunts; three centuries later, between McCarthyism and the end of the Vietnam War, those lineages encounter the same conflicts of exploitation and rebellion.
Originally published in English as World's End (1987), it was awarded the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction; this French edition is translated by Jef Tombeur.
For readers of historical and literary fiction who enjoy family sagas and critical revision of American history.
