«Les insurgés» is the dystopian young adult novel by Malorie Blackman, published by Milan Jeunesse in paperback (342 pages, in French).
In a world rebuilt after the near-total destruction of the planet, human life has become the supreme good. Kaspar, at seventeen, chooses to become a Guardian, one of the elite soldiers who must maintain order, but the Insurgents challenge that system with sabotage and attacks. Upon meeting Rhéa, a rebel with a strange power of empathy, Kaspar begins to doubt his society and suspects that this sacred principle conceals a state secret.
Work originally published in 2013, whose French edition dates from 2015; nominated for the Carnegie Medal in 2014.
Aimed at young readers aged 12 and up, especially fans of dystopias and young adult science fiction.
