«La mort de Brune» is the novel by Pierre Bergounioux, published by Gallimard in paperback (135 pages, in French).
The novel is set in small towns in the French interior in the mid-twentieth century, where daily life still carries a remote past: the Merovingian night, the gaze of a lady from the time of Francis I, the figures of the Régence and the spectre of an assassinated Marshal of the Empire. That arrested atmosphere fades when a green light, sudden and unusual, announces the irruption of the present.
The edition belongs to the Folio collection; the novel was originally published on 4 November 1997.
Suitable for readers of contemporary French literature interested in the weight of history and the passage of time in rural settings.
Pierre Bergounioux is a French writer. He won the 1986 Prix Alain-Fournier for his second novel, Ce pas et le suivant. And in 2002, he won the SGDL literary grand prize for his body of work.
