by Jeremy Leggatt (Translator), Erik Orsenna (Author)
Winner of France's Prix Goncourt in 1988, this novel is concerned with world history between 1883 and 1954, with democracy and with the spirit of the individual. The resilient, bouncy Gabriel has two fixations - one for rubber and the other for two English sisters with whom he becomes besotted.
