Description

The Class by Francois Begaudeau explores timely issues of race, class, identity, colonial history, immigration, and education in a deconsecrated classroom. This novel suspends judgment and liberates the raw words of its young characters. Winner of the Prix France Culture/Télérama prize, The Class has been adapted into a film version that won the Palme d'Or at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The book offers a powerful portrayal of the complexities of modern life through the eyes of its young protagonists. In this thought-provoking novel, Begaudeau sheds light on issues that are both universally relevant and deeply personal.
