«La classe» is the Italian edition of «Entre les murs», the novel by François Bégaudeau published by Einaudi in paperback in 2008.
A teacher narrates in the first person a year of classes at a French school, amid arguments, misunderstandings and small everyday failures. With tragicomic humour and without taking sides, the novel shows the distance between school culture and the students’ world, and the difficulty of teaching when adult authority is in question.
Originally published as «Entre les murs» in 2006, winner of the Prix France Culture. The film adaptation of the novel received the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2008.
For readers interested in education, contemporary French literature and the film that won the Palme d’Or.
