«Poil de carotte» is the classic novel by Jules Renard, published by Hachette Jeunesse in paperback (319 pages, in French).
François Lepic, a red-haired boy nicknamed Poil de Carotte, grows up in a family where his mother punishes him for no reason and favours his brother Félix and his sister Ernestine. Afraid of his mother's voice and with a tenderness he cannot express, he seems clumsy and reserved. The novel depicts the harshness of childhood and family injustice.
The novel was originally published in 1894; this paperback edition appeared in 1997.
For readers of French classics and students of literature; the work belongs to the school context and the nineteenth-century canon.
Pierre-Jules Renard was a French author and member of the Académie Goncourt, most famous for the works Poil de carotte and Les Histoires Naturelles. Among his other works are Le Plaisir de rompre and the posthumously published Huit Jours à la campagne.
