The Child
by Jules Vallès (1832-1885) French
Translated and with an introduction by Douglas Parmée
The Child tells the story of a young boy who is scapegoated and abused, emotionally and physically, by his parents. But the young hero learns to stand up to them, and ultimately, even to love them. Yet for all the pain the book registers, it is anything but dreary. To the contrary, Vallès's book is one of the funniest in French literature, a triumph of insubordinate comedy over the forces of order and the self-appointed defenders of decency.
