«Un enfant sage» is the novel by Jean-Denis Bredin, published by Gallimard in paperback (158 pages, in French).
Julien, a twelve-year-old boy, lives divided between his father and his mother, two worlds so far apart they seem never to have met. He strives not to be a bother: he watches his words, lies when necessary, and sustains a fragile family balance, until a drama puts him to the test.
The cover indicates 'roman' as a subtitle and the logo of the nrf collection. The publication dates from 11 April 1990.
For readers of French fiction and of stories about childhood, family loyalty and the weight of appearances.
Jean-Denis Bredin was a French attorney and founding partner of the firm Bredin Prat. He was widely admired as an author-commentator, both for his novels and for his non-fiction works, with a particular focus on recent and contemporary history. On 15 June 1989, he was elected to membership of the Académie Française, becoming the twentieth occupant of seat 3, which had been vacated through the death of Marguerite Yourcenar. His daughter, Frédérique Bredin, served between 2013 and 2019 as President of the French National Center of Cinematography and the moving image.
