Dupont-Monod Clara The Revolt
The Kingdom of France, 1173. A remarkable queen rallies her sons against a tyrannical king - their father. It is with a soft voice, full of menace, that our mother commands us to overthrow our father… Richard Lionheart tells the story of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine. In 1173, she and three of her sons instigate a rebellion to overthrow the English king, her husband Henry Plantagenet. What prompts this revolt? How does a great queen persuade her children to rise up against their father? And how does a son cope with this crushing conflict of loyalties? Replete with poetry and cruelty, this story takes us to the heart of the relationship between a mother and her favourite son - two individuals sustained by literature, unspoken love, honour and terrible violence.

Dupont-Monod Clara S'adapter
C’est l’histoire d’un enfant different, toujours allonge, aux yeux noirs qui flottent. C’est l’histoire de sa place dans la maison cevenole ou il nait, au milieu de la nature puissante ; de sa place dans la fratrie et dans les enfances bouleversees. Celle de l’aine, qui, dans sa relation fusionnelle avec l’enfant, s’abandonne et se perd. Celle de la cadette, dans la colere et le degout de celui qui a detruit l’equilibre. Celle du petit dernier qui a la charge de reparer, tout en vivant escorte d’un frere fantome. Comme dans les contes, les pierres de la cour temoignent. La naissance d’un enfant handicape racontee par sa fratrie. Un livre eblouissant sur la connaissance de soi et la solidite des liens fraternels. Guillaume Chevalier, librairie Mot a mot (Fontenay-sous-Bois). Debordant d’emotions, d’une vitalite sauvage et acharnee a reconstruire. Olivia de Lamberterie, Elle. Prix Femina. Prix Goncourt des lyceens. Prix Landerneau des lecteurs. Prix Goncourt de l’Orient. Prix Goncourt du Japon.

Dupont-Monod Clara La Révolte
« Sa robe caresse le sol. A cet instant, nous sommes comme les pierres des voutes, immobiles et sans souffle. Mais ce qui raidit mes freres, ce n’est pas l’indifference, car ils sont habitues a ne pas etre regardes ; ni non plus la solennite de l’entretien – tout ce qui touche a Alienor est solennel. Non, ce qui nous fige, a cet instant-la, c’est sa voix. Car c’est d’une voix douce, pleine de menaces, que ma mere ordonne d’aller renverser notre pere. » En 1173, Alienor d’Aquitaine pousse trois de ses enfants a la rebellion contre le roi d’Angleterre, son epoux. La voici racontee par son fils, Richard C?ur de Lion, dans une ?uvre petrie de poesie et de cruaute. Un regard qui revele deux personnages pleins d’amour, d’honneur et de violence et tirailles par leurs passions – ambition, haine, loyaute. Un drame shakespearien conte d’une ecriture precise, assuree, affutee. Claire Julliard, L’Obs. Le detail est juste, le style est resolument contemporain. Un beau livre. Etienne de Montety, Le Figaro litteraire. Le portrait d’une heroine moderne. Laetitia Favro, JDD.

Dupont-Monod Clara Le Roi disait que j'étais diable
Depuis le XIIe siecle, Alienor d'Aquitaine a sa legende. On l'a decrite libre, sorciere, conquerante : « le roi disait que j'etais diable », selon la formule de l'eveque de Tournai. Clara Dupont-Monod reprend cette figure mythique et invente ses premieres annees en tant que reine de France au cote de Louis VII. Des noces royales a la deuxieme Croisade, du chant des troubadours au fracas des armes emergent un Moyen Age lumineux, qui prepare sa mue, et la reconstitution d’un amour impossible. Une Alienor tout a tour ambitieuse et sensible, fragile et determinee, cruelle et delicate. A destin exceptionnel, roman flamboyant. Marie Rogatien, Le Figaro magazine. Un singulier portrait de femme, a la fois deesse mythologique et creature avant-gardiste. Claire Julliard, Le Nouvel Observateur. A travers ce troublant roman polyphonique, l’ecrivain donne a voir Alienor telle une forteresse imprenable, suscitant a la fois l’amour et la peur. Benoit Legemble, Marianne.
