A modern fairy tale about and for adults. This book is about the eternal and difficult struggle between generations, a philosophical interpretation of life and death through the tragic fate of a little man. Short Leon becomes 39 cm shorter after the birth of each of his children. The birth of four children turns him into a centimeter husband next to his lush and tall wife. Pascal Bruckner reveals the suffering of a little man with exceptional artistic skill and shows the multi-layered contradictions of human relationships. How the family is transformed after the birth of a child, why the role of men is gradually decreasing in modern society, and how children “swallow” and eventually “kill” their parents. Pascal Bruckner’s novel “My Little Husband” is a philosophical fable, a metaphorical story about existential paradoxes, the clash of fathers and sons, and the role of men.
