About the Author

André Chamson (1900-1983) was an archivist, museum curator, novelist and essayist. He was the founder-director of the journal Vendredi. After the Second World War he was a curator at the Musée du Petit Palais, and (from 1959 to 1971) director of the Archives de France. He was President of PEN International, the worldwide association of writers, from 1956 to 1959. He was elected to the Académie française in 1956. He set most of his stories in the Cèvennes, where he was born.

Reviews

For me, Roux is the hero who had the courage to become an outlaw, to oppose the ideas so solidly adhered to by others. He rejected violence only to suffer from the insults of his community… I admire Chamson’s audacity in publishing this advocacy for freedom of choice in the context of the First World War.

This is why Roux the Bandit is such an important book – its freedom.
*Henri Veyrier, Editor and Bookseller*

While Roux the Bandit is a slender work, in its writing, its simplicity of construction and the exposition of the simple philosophy of a conscientious objector and the growing acceptance of his personal philosophy by his fellow villagers is a gem.
*Stand to!*
