Translated from German by Maud Qamar
Pierre-Crignasse is a collection of cruel tales for children and their parents. It is a re-creation of the German Struwwelpeter, known in French as Crasse-Tignasse, thanks to Cavanna who will make it popular in France, on the occasion of a new translation at the Ecole des Loisirs in 1979.
Pierre-Crignasse is therefore not a new translation but a real re-creation inspired by this monument of children's literature. As popular as Lewis Carroll's Alice, he is a figure who has rocked several generations of children around the world. These tales deal with the right way to behave, but with fierce humor! Here, it is the prohibitions that are staged (bad table manners, making fun of strangers, mistreating animals, etc.), but very often, it ends very badly. Each story bears the name of its hero, this is how we follow the misadventures of Peter, Friederich, Kaspar or Hans. They are just as much moral tales as they are amoral, as their ending is cruel, even cynical. And this is probably where adults find their pleasure as much as children. Thanks to Atak's rich and lively graphics, we come across Tintin, Olive and Popeye or Batman on the pages.
And in their attempt to anchor these tales of more than a century in the contemporary world, we accompany little Justin in his dream of a games console.
