  • In L'Ombre de la Croix , the Tharaud brothers (the inseparable Academicians who write on "four legs") recount the life of Jews in the shtetl, feet in the mud, heads in the clouds and tongues hanging out. Picturesque life, always in the process of being uprooted, threatened by persecutions, the difficulty in keeping the balance between Heaven and the World, and the call of the outside world: Christianity, the foreigner, modernity. A universe that has now disappeared.

  • Their first "Roman Juif" sold 216,000 copies.
