Bernard Clavel
172 books21 followersBernard Charles Henri Clavel (May 29, 1923 – October 5, 2010 was a French writer.
Clavel was born in Lons-le-Saunier. From a humble background, he was largely self-educated. He began working as a pastry cook apprentice when he was 14 years old. He later had several jobs until he began working as a journalist in the 1950s. After the war, he worked for the social insurance, and he could not dedicate himself to literature until 1964. He has lived and worked in many places and lived in Savoy until his death.
His first novel was L'Ouvrier de la nuit (Night Worker, 1956). He later published works for young people and numerous novels, at times organised into series: La grande patience (The Great Patience, 4 volumes — 1962–1968), Les Colonnes du ciel (Heaven's Pillars, 5 volumes — 1976–1981), or Le Royaume du nord (Northern Kingdom, 6 volumes — 1983–1989).[2]
In his writings, he employed simple language and attached importance to humble characters and to the defence of humanist values by questioning violence and war.
He died in Grenoble.

J'avais reçu ce livre il y a une quinzaine d'années de ma grand-mère, lorsqu'elle faisait de l'ordre dans sa vie en préparation à sa fin. Je n'en avais pas gardé de souvenir particulier. Quand je l'ai retrouvé dans une boîte à livres, j'y ai vu l'occasion de me remettre en connexion avec cette femme que j'aimais fort et passer un bon moment en sa compagnie spirituelle. Mais pour tout dire, la vie dure des colons du Nord m'a plutôt donné envie de me pendre qu'autre chose. Ahem.

Très beau livre d' un auteur au langage et écrit bien développé et fourmillant de vocabulaire. J' ai beaucoup aimé. Il m'a permis de me relaxer bien souvent. De m' échapper dans un autre monde.

Beau livre avec de belles descriptions mais quelques fous un peu longues qui cassent le rythme de la lecture...
