Their Children After
General Fiction他们之后的孩子
(france) Nicolas Mathieu
Winner of France's most prestigious literary award, the Prix Goncourt. A fighting match of words, the spark of desire and the anger of life are "not the fate of class, but the law of species". A wonderful group portrait novel that bursts the soap bubbles of romantic France and describes the despicable life in fringe France. "The Children After Theirs" is the winning work of the French Goncourt Literary Prize in 2018. It tells the story of the growth of two teenagers in the Lorraine region of eastern France. Four summers and four moments, from "The Heart of Youth" to the 1998 World Cup in France, it tells the story of a life that is changing at full speed in this double-sided France sandwiched between the city and the development zone. This is not only a story about the growth of teenagers, but also a story of an era. Nicola Mathieu touches on the plight faced by teenagers in the era of globalization in an extremely subtle way, and at the same time exposes the lies about equal opportunities in the Western world.
