Winner of the Prix Goncourt A New York Times Notable Book of the Year The setting may be the rainy lower Loire Valley of the 1950s, but it is the WW I battlefields of Artois, Meuse, Lorraine, and Yser that form the emotional backdrop to this poignant testament to the vitality of life that death cannot dim. Fields of Glory begins as a collection of utterly charming reminiscences of the eccentricities of family elders told by an unnamed and indeterminately aged narrator. In pure and graceful prose, Rouaud describes crotchety grandfather Burgaud with his equally difficult car, a cramped and leaky CV2, and maiden great-aunt Marie with her card file of saints—"A prefatory catalogue of terrifying symptoms refers the reader to the saint specializing in the corresponding disorder. The work of a lifetime." It is in the midst of this comedy of daily life that the melancholy subtext of three generations slowly emerges: the stories of the two young men who were casualties of the Fields of Glory and the family that remains to remember them.

A haunting story about growing up by acclaimed French author Jean Rouaud. As a young man, the writer is myopic, dreamy, lonely, grieving the deaths of his father and grandfather and seeking to bring the confusions of adolescence into focus. Sharing his more-or-less world are Theo and Gyf, lover and friend, one for whom life is mystery, the other who wants to frame it in a camera lens. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade, Yucca, and Good Books imprints, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction—novels, novellas, political and medical thrillers, comedy, satire, historical fiction, romance, erotic and love stories, mystery, classic literature, folklore and mythology, literary classics including Shakespeare, Dumas, Wilde, Cather, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Hailed as a masterpiece, Jean Rouaud’s first novel, Fields of Glory, was awarded France’s most prestigious literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, and sold over a million copies worldwide. Of Illustrious Men establishes as fact what the first novel promised—that Rouaud is a writer of remarkable power, subtlety, and originality. Lovingly set in the same region as Fields of Glory, the novel is about the author’s father, Joseph, and a traveling salesman who died at forty-one and left a family in shock behind him. In the mind of the grieving eleven-year-old son—too young to have really known him—his father was a hero, a warrior, a legend of the Resistance during World War II. But the narrator is no longer that eleven-year-old boy; he is a mature and gifted writer. And though he may still ache for the loss of his father, he also knows that Joseph’s illustriousness can be found not only in the heady days of wartime glory but in moments of domestic tranquility. Of Illustrious Men evokes scenes of both war and peace with exquisite beauty and understated and poignant tenderness.

L'oeuvre de Jean Rouaud tient, depuis Les Champs d'honneur (prix Goncourt 1990), une place essentielle dans la littérature contemporaine. Placée dès l'origine sous le signe de la perte, elle déploie des " récits de filiation " qui remontent l'Histoire bien au-delà du père disparu. Avec un humour qui ne le cède en rien à la mélancolie, elle met en scène l'effondrement des " grands récits " de la communauté et revisite jusqu'aux fondements préhistoriques de notre civilisation. Au-delà du deuil originel, elle renoue avec un romanesque alerte, libéré à la fois du réalisme et du formalisme, non sans une lucidité joueuse qui entraîne l'écrivain lui-même, et son lecteur, dans un tourbillon d'imaginaire et de questions.

Prix Goncourt surprise en 1990, Jean Rouaud apparaît comme l'un des exemples du renouveau et comme l'un des représentants de la qualité française à l'étranger, grâce à sa capacité à faire surgir la mémoire collective au coeur même d'une chronique familiale, en remontant à la "scène primitive" du siècle : la Grande Guerre.

A l'oeuvre de Jean Rouaud semble s'appliquer l'expression qui sert de titre à l'un des ouvrages de Maeterlinck : "trésor des humbles". Dans Pour vos cadeaux, le narrateur nous dit de sa mère qu'elle a pris "une fois pour toutes le parti des humbles", des plus modestes. Elle participe, à sa façon, à cette "révolution par les humbles" dont parle Gilbert Durand. Et Jean Rouaud déclare : "J'ai trouvé insupportable qu'on parle avec mépris de petites ou de moyennes gens. Il y a une ligne de l'intolérable à ne pas dépasser qui s'appelle la dignité humaine" (Le Monde, 1er octobre 1990).
