SUMMARY:John Boyne - English
DESCRIPTION:The Elements\n\nInterview conducted by Clare O'Dea\, journalist
  and author\n\nWinner of the Prix du roman FNAC 2025 and the Prix Femina 
 étranger 2025\, JOHN BOYNE was born in 1971. He is an acclaimed Irish nov
 elist\, author of sixteen novels for adults\, six novels for younger reade
 rs\, two novellas\, and one collection of short stories. His historical no
 vel The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (Le garçon au pyjama rayé\, Gallimard
  Jeunesse\, 2007) received critical acclaim and was adapted into a 2008 dr
 ama film of the same name. As of 2022\, the book has sold over eleven mill
 ion copies worldwide and is one of the best-selling books of all time\, tr
 anslated into over 58 languages\, and a sequel\, All the Broken Places (La
  vie en fuite\, JC Lattès\, 2023)\, was published in 2022.\n\nIn The Elem
 ents (Les éléments\, JC Lattès\, 2025)\, he created an epic saga that w
 eaves together four interconnected narratives\, each representing a differ
 ent perspective on the enabler\, the accomplice\, the perpetrator and the 
 victim. Each is somehow connected to the next\, and as the story unfolds\,
  their lives intersect in unimaginable ways. A gripping and profound explo
 ration of guilt\, blame\, trauma and the human capacity for redemption.
