| Publisher Description: Jean-Luc Persecuted follows the ill-fated life of an unhappily married man. When Jean-Luc's wife pursues an affair and leaves him with their child, Jean-Luc's behavior becomes more and more erratic. He falls to drinking, behaving recklessly, and squandering his money. The narrative follows the explosive downfall of a lone man and his unstoppable mental collapse, surrounded by villagers unable to effect real change. This novel, never before translated, exemplifies the earthy, realistic, often allegorical style of iconic Swiss writer Ramuz. |
