Like Patrick Combes in his book of 1984, La Littérature et le mouvement de mai 68, we willquestion the novels whose central theme or the historical background is the revolt that happened in may 68, in France.We will be particulary interested in three novels published a few years after the events: Derrière la vitre (1970) of Robert Merle; Les deux printemps (1971) of Raymond Jean and L’Irrévolution (1971), of Pascal Lainé whose characters and/or narrators are teachers, which make them actors or mere witness close to youth student concerns and the questioning of society and the school int the sixties of last century.
