Résumé anglais Jules Vallès (1832-1885) originally from Haute-Loire, came to Paris to study and write and produced, after several attempts at stones prior to 1870, his most well- known book, The Child (L'Enfant) 1879, during his London exile ; it depicts a typical childhood, his own, which he considered unhappy but not cruel. He brought out this book in defense and as an illustration of «Childrens' Rights», to be declared after Human Rights. But he continued, as previously, to differentiate between unhappy children, physically or morally, and the misery of child martyrs, sometimes beaten to death by their parents ; this was his lifelong battle both as a journalist and a novelist.
