«Poil de carotte» is the novel by Jules Renard published by J'ai lu in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Poil de carotte is an unwanted child: his mother mistreats him, his siblings mock him, and his father ignores him. Faced with this injustice, the boy can only respond with cunning, deceit, and humour. The novel brings together brief scenes, sometimes funny, sometimes raw, inspired by Jules Renard's childhood.
The work was originally published in 1894. This French edition dates from 2015.
Suitable for a general audience, with particular interest for students of French and readers of classic 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.
