«Pour le meilleur et pour l'Empire» is the satirical novel by James Hawes, published by Points in paperback (416 pages, in French).
Brian Marley, a literature professor, takes part in a reality show in the middle of the jungle. After being left alone and half dead, he records a final message for his son and discovers an unusual local community. A zany comedy in the tradition of British absurd humour, with echoes of Monty Python.
The original work, «Speak for England», was translated from English into French by Olivier Deparis. It is part of the Points collection, number 1953.
For readers of social satire and British humour: the novel criticises the media and society with outlandish situations.
