«Chagrin d'école» is Daniel Pennac's autobiographical essay, published by Gallimard in paperback (320 pages, in French).
Drawing on his own experience as a poor student, Daniel Pennac reflects on school from the perspective of the pupil who does not understand. Between autobiographical memories and pedagogical reflection, he addresses the suffering of the 'cancre', the role of parents and teachers, and the desire to learn that, in his view, remains alive in young people.
The work, published in 2007, won the Prix Renaudot that year and belongs to Gallimard's Blanche collection.
A read for teachers, parents and readers interested in education and the experience of academic failure.
Daniel Pennac is a French writer. He received the Prix Renaudot in 2007 for his essay Chagrin d'école.
