Carrot Whiskers (illustrated Collector's Edition)
About This Novel
This book is a novel written by Jules Lenard, a modern French writer and member of the Goncourt Academy, based on his own childhood experience. Through close-up scenes, it writes a secret history of the spiritual growth of a young man. The protagonist of the novel is a little boy named "Carrotbeard", which is a nickname given to him by his mother because of his reddish-brown hair and freckles on his skin. His real name never appeared in any text, and his home never gave him any warmth. There was only the teasing and indifference of his parents, the bullying and ridicule of his brothers and sisters, and the cold looks of his neighbors. Carrotbeard is struggling in his heart. He longs for love and does many ridiculous and stupid things to gain attention and recognition. However, he endures humiliation, pain and helplessness in his heart. As he grew up, relying on his tenacity and understanding, he did not allow himself to go astray and blame others. Instead, he realized the importance of independence, self-esteem and self-love, and learned to resist.
