Official synopsis Publisher
I Lorsque mon père, Nicolas Clavel, bûcheron à Saint-Jean-des-Choux, sur la côte de Saverne, mourut au mois de juin 1837, j’avais neuf ans. Notre voisine, la veuve Rochard, me prit chez elle quinze jours ou trois semaines, et personne ne savait ce que j’allais devenir. La mère Rochard ne pouvait pas me garder; elle disait que nos meubles, notre lit et le reste ne payeraient pas les cierges de l’enterrement, et que mon père aurait bien fait de m’emmener avec lui.
