Description (ph 20)
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 "
