«Le bachelier» is the novel by Jules Vallès, published by Flammarion in paperback (320 pages, in French).
The novel, dedicated to those who, after being educated in Greek and Latin, ended up dying of hunger, is an indictment against a society that condemns to misery those it claims to educate. The protagonist, Jacques Vingtras, refuses to be a lackey and, though defeated, does not resign himself: denunciation and hope combine in the narrative.
Le Bachelier is the second instalment of the Jacques Vingtras trilogy, which begins with «L'Enfant» and is completed with «L'Insurgé». The novel was originally published in 1881.
For readers of classic French fiction and for those who want to approach the social narrative of the nineteenth century.
Jules Vallès was a French journalist, author, and left-wing political activist.
