«Vipère au poing» is the autobiographical novel by Hervé Bazin, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (236 pages, in French).
Jean Rezeau, nicknamed Brasse-Bouillon, and his brothers wage an implacable fight against their mother, whom they call Folcoche. An autobiographical work, written as a cry of hatred and rebellion, it narrates the children's survival in a home dominated by maternal cruelty, violence and lack of affection, with cunning as the protagonist's only weapon to escape that childhood.
First instalment of the The Rezeau Family saga, originally published in 1948.
Recommended for readers interested in twentieth-century French literature and in coming-of-age novels with an autobiographical background.
Hervé Bazin was a French writer, whose best-known novels covered semi-autobiographical topics of teenage rebellion and dysfunctional families.
