«Le garçon en pyjama rayé» is the historical young-adult novel by John Boyne, published by Gallimard Jeunesse in paperback (208 pages, in French).
The story follows Bruno, a nine-year-old boy who leaves Berlin in 1942 when his father, a Nazi officer, is given a new posting. In the isolated house where they settle, Bruno sees from his window men, women and children dressed in striped pyjamas on the other side of a fence. No one will explain who they are or what lies beyond that barrier.
Originally published in English as The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2006). This French edition, translated by Catherine Gibert, belongs to the Folio Junior collection.
For young readers aged 12 and up, especially those seeking historical fiction about the Second World War.
