«Les initiés» is the novel by Hella S. Haasse, published by Actes Sud in paperback (588 pages, in French).
In the late 1950s, a young Cretan returns to his village over a matter of honour and ends up guiding an American family. Along the way, six characters confront their contradictions: a choral tale about desire, maturity and demands, set against postwar Greece.
Originally published in 1957 as «De ingewijden»; this French edition, translated from Dutch by Annie Kroon, belongs to the Babel collection (no. 807) of Actes Sud.
For readers of contemporary European fiction and intimate choral novels.
