An international bestseller and winner of the Prix Goncourt,
France's most prestigious literary award, "The Ogre" is a masterful
tale of innocence, perversion, and obsession. It follows the
passage of strange, gentle Abel Tiffauges from submissive schoolboy
to "ogre" of the Nazi school at the castle of Kaltenborn, taking us
deeper into the dark heart of fascism than any novel since "The Tin
Drum." Until the very last page, when Abel meets his mystic fate in
the collapsing ruins of the Third Reich, it shocks us, dazzles us,
and above all holds us spellbound.
