«Le nain» is the philosophical novel by Swedish writer Pär Lagerkvist, published by Stock in paperback (268 pages, in French).
The novel is set in an Italian Renaissance court and is narrated by Piccoline, the court dwarf, whose marginalised position allows him to observe from a distance the rumours, political intrigues and violence of the siege the city endures. His figure comes to embody the crowd's fascination with conflict.
