Les Grandes Familles, winner of the Goncourt Prize, is one of the most celebrated novels in contemporary French literature. Unanimously acclaimed by critics since its publication, translated worldwide and brought to the screen with great success, this great social novel in the Balzacian and Tolstoyan tradition offers an implacable depiction of political and financial circles between the two world wars. Undoubtedly, this study of the human condition, through those whose power directs collective destinies, illustrates and helps to understand the origin of the dramas of contemporary society.
Maurice Druon was a French novelist and a member of the Académie Française, of which he served as "Perpetual Secretary" (chairman) between 1985 and 1999.
