About the Book

Résumé Sebastien Roch Quincailler à Pervenchères, petite ville du département de l'Orne, Joseph-Hippolyte-Elphège Roch rêve d'une ascension sociale pour son fils Sébastien. C'est pourquoi il réussit à le faire au collège des Jésuites de Vannes. Là, Sébastien est rejeté par ses condisciples, de jeunes aristocrates provinciaux. Il se lie pourtant avec Boloré, un élève renfermé, révolté, fils d'un médecin. Deux ans passent, le jeune père de Kern s'intéresse à l'éducation de Sébastien mais cela cache d'inavouables pulsions: une nuit, Kern viole Sébastien... Violente critique des Jésuites et des moeurs provinciales, Octave Mirbeau décrit avec talent, la lente soumission de l'esprit qui conduit au viol physique Le sujet; Dans ce troisième roman signé de son nom, Mirbeau transgresse un tabou majeur: celui du viol d'adolescents par des prêtres, sujet dont on n'a commencé à parler qu'un siècle après sa publication. Aussi bien ce beau et émouvant roman a-t-il été victime d'une véritable "conspiration du silence" . C'est le récit du sacrifice d'un enfant dont toutes les qualités sont détruites par ses années de collège et les viols qu'il y subit. Arrivé sain de corps et d'esprit au collège des Jésuites de Vannes - où Mirbeau lui-même fit ses études et dont il a été chassé dans des conditions plus que suspectes, en 1863 - le jeune Sébastien Roch, au prénom et au patronyme hautement significatifs, est souillé à jamais et lui aussi injustement chassé sous une accusation infâmante. L'éducation jésuitique constitue un viol de son esprit, suivi du viol de son corps, au terme d'une entreprise de séduction conduite cyniquement par un prêtre machiavélique, son propre maître d'études, le Père de Kern. Celui-ci le fait encore chasser honteusement du collège sous prétexte de prétendues amitiés particulières avec son seul ami et confident, le taiseux et révolté Bolorec. La personnalité de Sébastien en est déformée à jamais, et sa vie a perdu irrémédiablement tout sens, toute valeur et toute finalité; au lieu du roman de formation auquel on s'attend, Mirbeau nous livre le prototype du roman de la déformation.
About the Author: Octave Mirbeau, né le 16 février 1848 à Trévières (Calvados) et mort le 16 février 1917 à Paris, est un écrivain, critique d'art et journaliste français. Il connaît une célébrité européenne et de grands succès populaires, tout en étant également apprécié et reconnu par les avant-gardes littéraires et artistiques, ce qui n'est pas commun. Journaliste influent et fort bien rémunéré, critique d'art défenseur des avant-gardes, pamphlétaire redouté, Octave Mirbeau est aussi un romancier novateur, qui a contribué à l'évolution du genre romanesque, et un dramaturge, à la fois classique et moderne, qui a triomphé sur toutes les grandes scènes du monde. Mais, après sa mort, il traverse pendant un demi-siècle une période de purgatoire: il est visiblement trop dérangeant pour la classe dirigeante, tant sur le plan littéraire et esthétique que sur le plan politique et social. Littérairement incorrect, il est inclassable, il fait fi des étiquettes, des théories et des écoles, et il étend à tous les genres littéraires sa contestation radicale des institutions culturelles; également politiquement incorrect, farouchement individualiste et libertaire, il incarne une figure d'intellectuel critique, potentiellement subversif et irrécupérable, selon l'expression de Jean-Paul Sartre dans Les Mains sales.
