«L'Arbre de vies» is the novel by Bernard Chambaz, published by Ed. du Seuil in paperback (222 pages, in French).
At the end of his life, Antoine Couthon recalls what happened since 9 Thermidor 1794, when he learned of the execution of his father, the paralysed friend of Robespierre. The protagonist's memory, crossed by History, touches on the enigma of mourning and fatherhood; the tree of lives, with its branches of generations, embodies the hope of a paradise.
The edition belongs to the Points collection, number 406, and was published in 1997. In 1993, the work won the Prix Goncourt du premier roman and the Prix Emmanuel-Roblès.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in revolutionary France and in stories about memory, mourning and fatherhood.
