In 1948, in Indochina, French troops face the anticolonial resistance. In Beirut, the Pelletiers experience the beginning of their family's collapse. The children leave home: Jean, Françoise, and Hélène to Paris, and Étienne to Saigon, following the trail of his missing lover. Each will live experiences that will mark their destiny and that of their relatives. A murder, illegal transactions, a dangerous journalistic investigation... Characters and plots alternate, intersect, and interfere in a novel where love, personal ambition, and despair are part of the substrate that feeds them. 'El gran món' is the first title of Pierre Lemaitre's new historical cycle: 'The glorious years'.
Pierre Lemaitre is a French writer who won the 2013 Prix Goncourt for The Great Swindle, known both for his Commandant Camille Verhœven crime novels and for sweeping historical sagas.
