Young Man in Chains - Paperback

by Francois Mauriac (Author), Gerard Hopkins (Translator)

This is Mauriac's first novel, and its appearance in English completes the collected presentation of his works here. Mauriac is the elder statesman of French literature and the Nobel prize-winner, and this small roman d'analyse, traditional in its concerns (he is the most profoundly Christian and Catholic of French writers), is also contemplative in its approach. - Kirkus Reviews
