Title : The Rebels - CHABROL Jean-Pierre - book

Summary :

After a youth in the Cévennes that should have been crowned by brilliant studies, Jean-Pierre Chabrol finds himself gripped by History. A resistance fighter, a communist by circumstance then by conviction, a cartoonist and journalist before becoming a writer, Jean-Pierre Chabrol takes us on a thrilling, colorful, and also tragic life. This "novelist in History," whose life is shaped by the 20th century, is above all a champion of revolt. He says it himself: to outrage, to outrage, to go beyond, beyond, beyond measure... words that I love and that could sum me up entirely.

Through the reading of the entirety of a work that remains largely unknown, Michel Boissard achieves the feat of restoring a life through its four seasons: that of the resistance fighter, founding; that of the Communard, a communist commitment that will clash with Stalinist crimes; that of the Camisard, which will cause Jean-Pierre Chabrol to miss out on the Goncourt prize due to a historical misunderstanding. The Cévnol season, encompassing all the others, reminds us, in the words of André Chamson, that the universal finds its source in the roots of each one. Jean-Pierre Chabrol defined his "country" thus: The Cévennes is a confidence.
