Book Description

March 1, 2001

Poil de Carotte est menteur, hypocrite, malpropre, paresseux et têtu. C’est en tout cas ce que dit de lui sa mère, qui cherche à le corriger à coups de trique et de punitions.

Or, si Poil de Carotte a la peau dure, il a aussi le cœur tendre et la parole facile. Dans son récit éponyme, Jules Renard avait déjà fait de lui le porte-parole universel des enfants mal-aimés. Dans cette adaptation pour le théâtre, parue en 1900, il propose désormais un émouvant plaidoyer à l’usage des couples parentaux mal mariés.

1.0 out of 5 stars call me a philistine..., August 28, 2004
...but the best thing I can say about this book is that it didn't take very long to read. I got a few genuine chuckles out of it, but for the most part I thought this was one of the most pointless books I have ever read, full of jokes that weren't funny and pathos that didn't inspire sympathy. I can see how this might have been groundbreaking 110 years ago, but to this 21st-century reader (and French literature aficionado) this book was about as appealing as the cruel treatment Poil de Carotte gets from his wretched family.

4.0 out of 5 stars A strange family story, September 28, 2000
By 
The book told the story of a poor boy in early 20th century France who had a terrible family life. His mother was a distant character and the boys father was complex and distracted by his politics. The story shocked me due to the raw nature of his family and the depression that a boy at his age could endure. It was definately and inspired reading for those intrested in French culture.

Poil de Carotte is very well written, though most Americans may not understand the thoughts of Renard!
