Les mots des riches, les mots des pauvres

Synopsis of Les mots des riches, les mots des pauvres

«Les mots des riches, les mots des pauvres» is the humorous essay by Jean-Louis Fournier, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (192 pages).

With irony and humour, Fournier contrasts Monsieur Riche and Monsieur Pauvre: their gardens, their place in church, war, or their ways of speaking. The everyday contrast becomes a satire on inequality and privilege, in a light sociology essay that invites readers to laugh at what separates rich and poor.

Text in French. The work was originally published in 2004; this paperback edition came out on 27 September 2006.

A read for those who enjoy intelligent humour and social criticism in a satirical vein.
