Herv Bazin, the "Novelist of the Family or of the Bourgeoisie" 
A craftsman of writing, but a gifted craftsman, Herv Bazin leaves behind books that reflect our time. A reflection sometimes - often - squeaky, critical, and which is interspersed with brilliant passages, of a stylist recognized from his entry into literature." Who thus defined the profession of writer: ""Noble term whose first syllable is beautifully conjunctive, the second of which conforms to the Sartrean definition (one writes to alert), but the last of which is very detrimental to the preceding ones."

Portrait of an arsonist, L'Huile sur le feu is one of the most beautiful and moving novels of the great writer Herv Bazin."In a small French village between the two wars, an arsonist is rampant. A courageous man, a volunteer firefighter, stands up against the fire he spreads. This hero, so appreciated by his fellows knows a daily hell within his family. Having suffered a serious burn during the war, he must endure the hateful coldness of his wife whom her appearance disgusts and who does everything to drive him mad. But he does not want to part with her and suffers her wrath day after day. He fights against fire, fights against his wife, fights against himself. His only support, his daughter, is at the center of this tragedy and reveals the plot to us "
