Sommario/riassunto

For what purpose and for whom has biographical pursuit endured, and how does it play such a contested, popular role in contemporary Western culture, from biopics to blogs, memoirs to docudramas? Award-winning biographer Hamilton addresses these questions in an incisive and vivid narrative that will appeal to students of human nature and self-representation across the arts and sciences.

Sommario/riassunto

À la manière du mosaïste, le romancier assemble des mots, des situations pour créer un être plausible. Le statut de l’enfant et de l’adolescent, êtres en perpétuelle évolution, rend cet effort de composition exigeant. Les héros qui ont enchanté notre enfance - Rémi dans Sans Famille, les deux frères du Tour de la France par deux enfants -, les personnages de nos lectures d’adultes - Jacques Vingtras ou Sébastien Roch - ont marqué notre imaginaire parce qu’ils sont issus de choix complexes de la part du romancier.
