La Villa, à l'écart d'une petite ville du sud-ouest de la France, ressemble, avec son immense jardin, à un paradis où rien ne peut arriver. C'est bien ce qu'avait voulu le père, un homme juste et sage. Voyant approcher la guerre, il avait quitté Paris pour mettre sa jeune femme et leurs sept enfants à l'abri. Mais quand déferlent les années quarante, le malheur atteint les univers les plus protégés. Bientôt, la Villa se peuplera d'étranges jardiniers et cuisinières. Ce sont des hommes, des femmes, des enfants traqués, en danger de mort. Puis les Allemands vont arriver et violer le sanctuaire.La paix revenue, le père sacrifie repos et confort ; il arrache ses enfants à leur paradis afin de mieux assurer leur avenir.Cette histoire est vue par un enfant. Il traverse des tragédies et rencontre des solitudes, il connaît l'enchantement de la découverte de la vie, la nature. Jamais le petit garçon n'oubliera l'imposante figure de ce père au passé mystérieux ; cette mère qui semble une grande sœur ; Dora la juive allemande qui feint d'être muette ; Sam, le jeune prof aux manières insolites ; et les jambes gainées de soie de la jolie Madame Blèze...Sur le même ton limpide de sincérité, l'auteur de L'étudiant étranger nous livre son portrait de la province, sa vision de la famille, le tableau nostalgique d'une enfance qui a peut-être été la sienne.

Bound in the original cream-color boards, with a blue cloth spine lettered in shiny gold. From the Dust Jacket: "Set in a small town in southwestern France, LE PETIT GARCON is the endearing story of a boy's coming-of-age during World War II. The youngest of seven children, who record the crucial events and comical characters in their lives in a hallowed family album -- whether it's Furbaire, who rolled his r's, Michigot with his wig, or Dr. Sucre with his bicycle clips -- the little boy quickly learns the importance of compassion in an increasingly intolerant world. As the Nazis occupy the provinces, the little boy's home becomes a safe house for Jewish refugees. There are rumors of deportations, chilling cases of collaboration, heroic stories of the Resistance, and the grisly evidence of reprisals. Through the remarkable example of his father, the little boy comes to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and to appreciate the need for thought in action and for experience as the criterion of judgment. A tender, warmhearted novel about a young boy's moral awakening, LE PETIT GARCON memorably captures the essence and struggle of a small town in war-torn France." .
