Add to basketParis Gallimard 1946 Relié, 281pp., 12x18cm., en bon état. Nouvelle édition publiée la même année que l'édition originale, après l'attribution du Prix Goncourt. Un des 2.000 exemplaires numérotés sur Alfama Marais, reliés d'après la maquette originale de Mario Prassinos. Cette élégante reliure d'éditeur est aujourd'hui particulièrement recherchée par les bibliophiles. Au cours de l'évacuation de Dunkerque en mai 1940, le sergent Julien Maillat tente désespérément de rejoindre les plages d'embarquement. Au milieu du chaos, des bombardements et de la débâcle, il croise des soldats épuisés, des civils terrorisés et une jeune femme dont la présence fait naître un fragile espoir. Robert Merle livre un récit d'une rare intensité où la guerre apparaît dans toute son absurdité et sa cruauté. Premier roman de Robert Merle, Week-end à Zuydcoote est directement inspiré de son expérience personnelle durant la campagne de France de 1940. Refusant toute vision héroique du conflit, l'auteur décrit avec un réalisme saisissant la confusion, la peur, la fatigue et les dilemmes moraux auxquels sont confrontés les soldats encerclés dans la poche de Dunkerque. À travers le personnage de Julien Maillat, il montre comment la guerre détruit les repères, tout en laissant subsister des gestes de solidarité et d'humanité. La précision des descriptions, la sobriété du style et la profondeur psychologique des personnages expliquent le succès immédiat du roman, couronné par le Prix Goncourt en 1949. Robert Merle (1908-2004) est un écrivain français dont l'oeuvre compte parmi les plus importantes de la littérature française contemporaine. Ancien combattant et prisonnier de guerre, il obtient le Prix Goncourt en 1949 pour Week-end à Zuydcoote. Il est également l'auteur de La mort est mon métier, L'ile, Malevil et de la vaste fresque historique Fortune de France. (Description du contenu généré par IA).
