«Poil de carotte» is the novel by Jules Renard, published by J'ai lu in paperback (280 pages, in French).
The youngest of the Lepic family, a red-haired, freckled boy, suffers his mother's rejection: she punishes him without reason and prefers her other children. Nicknamed Poil de Carotte for his carrot-coloured hair, he harbours a tenderness he cannot express. A story about childhood, family cruelty and identity.
The work was originally published in 1894. This French pocket edition contains the complete text.
Suitable for readers aged 12 and over and for those approaching the classics of nineteenth-century French literature.
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.
