Carole Trebor
Invited to the 2018 Books & Music Festival
Before writing for young people, Carole Trébor was a historian, a specialist in Russian cultural history, and a documentary filmmaker (Ina.fr, Arte.tv, Youhumour.com, Silence ça pousse on France 5). After having written plays (Merci l'ours, Noctambule, Au cirque Fanfaron), she started writing novels for teenagers.
Her historical-fantasy trilogy Nina Volkovitch, which takes place in Russia in 1948, has been well received by teenagers and a nice critical success (twelve literary awards in 2013-2014). In 2015, she is one of the authors of the saga U4saga, a true phenomenon of teen literature. Being a Parisian, she wrote the volume dedicated to Jules, the survivor, who lives in the capital (U4. Jules published by Nathan-Syros).
After this incursion into a post-apocalyptic universe, she is happy to find with Light, Svetlana's journey the historical-fantasy genre she loves.
Revolted is the first purely historical novel she wrote for the centenary of the Russian Revolution.
