Camins de França is a coming-of-age novel by author Joan Puig i Ferreter, published in 1976. The novel recreates the author's youthful experiences, conveniently made up, where a child faces the discovery of sex and death. Puig i Ferreter tells us about his childhood, the family circumstances that marked him deeply, and how the writer's turbulent and sensitive character leads him to a crisis, from which he only believes he can escape if he flees to France. Along the paths of this country he seeks a new life, a meaning to his own existence, ultimately freedom and poetry, which will ultimately define his entire literary work.
Joan Puig i Ferreter was a Catalan playwright and politician.
